Any Thoughts

[reddiesel]

For the past year I have been running a new Vantage which I got rid of last week . Since then I have been looking around and this has been drawing my attention . Can I ask if anyone has any thoughts or experiences ? Its basically the same engine that's in the Vantage ?? Though in a higher state of tune and in my opinion its a fantastic unit with a lovely linear power delivery

No experience with this one but it's on my list. I have an SL55 and a CL65 from the prior decade (and a V8V from the prior decade). My opinion has so far been that MB makes a better car.

I've have vague recollections of a MotorTrend Head 2 Head episode where I recall they seemed to like the GT S better than the GT R.

Good grief red, following me over to the Dark Side? No experience of these I'm afraid but my C63 is a proper riot to drive so I imagine this will be spectacular. Definitely one on my own bucket list for sure.

To be honest I considered dropping you an email to ask your thoughts so I am delighted you have turned up . I am in the process of doing my usual bout of fence sitting which is giving me a chance to do a bit of research and regarding the GT R its all been largely positive . I harbour secret desires for a McLaren 650 but amongst the few inquiries I have made the ownership prospect of one as a daily driver for various reasons raises some red flags . I also worry about the 85 year old father getting in and out over that high sill so Mercedes or another Porsche are almost the default choices . Hoping you are enjoying yours ?

I have a GTC roadster and think it’s awesome! It’s a fantastic car. I’ve not driven a R or pro, etc as I thought the C the best option for me for road use as I don't plan any track days, etc. Go for a test drive? I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

For context I also have an Aston Martin Vantage V12S and previously had 911’s, an F430 spider, etc and the GTC is as good as if not better than most of them (IMHO of course).
