Back to basics:I LOVE my GT and wanna share that

I have my GT for 4 weeks now. Had 4 911's and an R8 and between these 6, the GT is my favorite

1 - awesome looks u dont see often
2 - incredibly stiff but not harsh - I didn't take glass roof
3 - 1200 miles and still oil at 3/4 of max. Did drive it (too) hard the 1st 500
4 - love the app
5 - love the steering. Sofar my R8 held that throne

Sorry for guys w bad experiences. From test rides to my 2017 GT, I do think AMG went through a steep learning curve, but chances are I am subjective.

IF you have another car (Chevy) or hate yr GT, plenty of other threads for you

IF you just wanna share your excitement for this amazing machine - pls...

I share your sentiment as well. And that silver paint looks classicly great.

I daily drive it everywhere I can't except downtown and in rain. The second car I bought for a daily doesn't see many miles.

I've put off the stereo upgrades because exhaust sounds sooo good.

What do you like about the app? I don't see anything particularly useful that it does. Not trying to knock the thread at all because I love my car as well, just wondering if I'm missing something within the app.

Silver looks specially good on that car.
Luv this car as well especially now that it has found extra horsepower.
Thumbs up for a happy Friday thread.

Would you please tell me about the pros and cons between the GT and R8? Did you have the V10?

I'm not a silver guy but that looks awesome. And you got the best factory wheels.

Nicely done.

I am about to buy mine with panoramic roof, does it make the car stiffer?

The panomaric is a must in my opinion as it makes the interior appear bigger and brings much needed light. You always have the option to close the shade.
I have not lived a Florida summer yet with it so can't comment yet about heat but I have had a few high 80s day and the A/C is able to cool the interior down very quickly.
One vendor stated on a thread that the A45 tips worked but a member tried without success and had to customize the OEM to make them look like quads.

Personally, I specifically looked til I found a car without the Panoramic. I hate black wheels, black body parts, etc on a different colored car.
