Diff in Susp GT vs SL? GT Harsher Ride?
I’ve only driven the GT’s thus far, so for those that know the specs and/or driven them both pls advise

I've driven both and didn't notice any ride difference. As far as I'm aware the only difference is the engine tuning - all other specs are the same including curb weight (there are some options standard on the 63 but nothing that would impact this).

I am trying to decide whether or not to get ARC on a GT43. I would really prefer to get 19” wheels, but they can’t be ordered with ARC option.

Does your SL43 have the optional Active Ride Control? If it has the standard suspension, is the ride comfortable enough for a 300 to 400 mile trip? Is the GT55 noticeably better for a road trip?

I recently drove a 2022 SL55 AMG....the ride was NOT good. Too stiff...and surprisingly loud for such an expensive car. Expected more sophistication.
Trying to get behind the wheel of a GT 55 to see if it has improved. Don't know why AMG can't make better riding cars? BMW/Audi/Porsche seem to do a better job...room for improvement for sure!
If anyone can compare who has actually driven both, please weigh in on this?
Thanks!
