F456 V12

With almost 150 less HP, the AMG GT did pretty well. It will be interesting to see what happens when a fully tuned GT runs against the likes of Mclaren, Ferrari, etc

Well. the first run looked fairly good. But, the second run, the McLaren just walked away from the GTS. A tune will surely help get closer.

Did fairly well? I suppose whatever your definition of "fairly well" is lol the GTS got destroyed.

I would say "did well" is a pretty generous comment. I love my GTs, but the McLaren walked away even with the GTs getting the jump.

Hate to admit it, but AMG got absolutely smoked. I was rather disappointed by how easily the McClaren just walked away.

I am a Mclaren owner, I was just trying to be kind, I didn't want to start something. I am a big Merc fan (owner), almost bought my wife a GT, but she wanted another SL, she likes its versatility over the GT, hence out with the 2013 SL550, in with the new 2015 SL550.

For what it is worth, from a roll the SL550 easily beats my Ferrari 360 and is very close to my F430, all about torque and the SL has a MASSIVE amount. I know some guys have chipped their SL550's and are getting out ~ 525 HP, almost 100hp gain, I can only imagine what a well done tune for the GT will produce, 600HP+ ??

Mercedes brought a knife to a gun fight.

This race is a ZERO surprise--- the 650S is 10 mph faster in traps at least at the quarter. The "one" magazine that has our GTS's trapping at 127 mph adjusts for conditions. Even with a tune the 650S will still kill it. With that being said, I love the GTS and what it brings to the table.

I have both cars and it's truly amazing how different they are yet both 8 cylinder engines with twin turbos.

Love them both and have both tuned. The Mercedes is a beast when tuned and the McLaren.....a Spaceship...Lol.

The GTS got murdered. Maclarens are no joke.
I need to make more money lol

hyperion667

not sure what all the hype is about on these McLarens......the cars are so busy and not appealing to me, and the cost is insane also...........

You can pick up an 2012 updated 12C from mid 150-165K

Haha yeah the GT got raped

hyperion667

hmmm, I see, for those dollars I'd prefer a SLS
that would be much more exciting to me to see in my driveway

djastral69

Had both and the 12C is way more car in every facet, even the Dihedral doors are a better design. I'm 6'2" and the gulling doors were not my heads best friend on a daily basis....Lol.

The GT S is my daily driver and I enjoy driving it but the 650S is just special as it rides 10000 times better and the acceleration albeit doesn't punch you in the kidneys like the GT S(tuned) but the McLaren power delivery is much smoother and just outright faster.

And by the way, what's not Hot about this car? I think it looks pretty cool

yeah GTS never had a chance. it is severely under powered to the 650S, even with tuning i dont think it will be a whole lot closer! Benz needs to make another halo car that compares to the 650/458/huracan that has 650+ hp!!! or they could go bigger and go after the big boys like the Aventador and the Ferrari F12

Wow..that wasn't an impressive showing.
