This has been discussed ad nauseum.
Please check the AMG website. The DPP is available on the GT. Here is a link to help show you that.

It's not in the build configuration tool. Is it a hidden option?

I find it interesting that they would have put it in for 1 year, and then removed it? Do you have the order guide for 2017?

As for the suspension, we are saying the same thing.

I think AMG 17GT has been correct in what he is stating.
McGG needs to present more techinical info and references before he makes these statements.

No, I'm just asking you to build me a GT with DPP on the website. I can't.

Alright, some additional info. I just checked.

My perspective is from Canadian vehicles, and they CERTAINLY were not available to get the DPP package on the GT. It was integrated into the "track pack", and you couldn't order the track pack on the GT.

I did a quick search for the order guide for the 2017 GT and couldn't find anything specific. However, Edmunds keeps pretty good track of available options, and they say the DPP wasn't available for the GT in 2017. Perhaps Edmunds is wrong.

As for the current, here are the areas where you can order the DPP on the MB website. You can clearly see where the DPP package is missing on the GT side of things.

No we are not saying the same thing.

The 2017 with adaptive suspension IS the same as the GTS.. You said "No it is not" ..

We are saying the same thing. Stock gt suspension is multimatic or you can upgrade to the same suspension as the gts. If I was unclear before, them I hope this clarifies my position.

You were clear before. Now I am happy you have changed your position.
Here is a link to help you with more info.

No, I wasn't clear...or at least I did not articulate my intent well - wouldn't be the first time. If it sounded like I made a claim other than what I intended, then consider this a clarification.

Also no, your link does not indicate that DPP is present - quite the opposite actually.

AMG 17GT seems to claim that the DPP (or components of it - dynamic engine mounts etc) were available as options, but I've never seen anything that supports that claim.

First I am not talking about DPP. I was talking about the adaptive suspension. You need to read the posts. Here is what I posted and your answer:

DON: I t is still not clear to me if the GT with dynamically adjustable supension is the same as the GTS
McGG: its not

Now how can that be more clear???

Please get off the website if you dont want to admit your mistatements and are more interseted in conflict.

You're coming in a bit hot there, skippy! lol

I assume you're upset because you thought you were getting the full meal deal on your car - and you didn't. I understand.

for the record, I thought your question was regarding the GTS with DPP vs the GT adjustable suspension, and those ARE different...so my comment was just a misunderstanding. My later posts should make that more clear. I'm happy to edit my original post for clarity if you like?

Now, I think you should probably have a drink and relax a bit in a comfy chair.

I am very happy with what I purchased.
Just dont like BSers who take up space/time on the forums.
Please get knowledgeable about your info before you post. And please do not drag this into a debate when you are not knowledgeable.

I'm happy that you enjoy what you bought. It's still a great car after all.

And I've posted correct information at every stage. I edited my original post to ensure no further confusion - lack of clarity is always the enemy.

You're asking questions, but seem to not want to be convinced by the answers. Very strange indeed.

You appear to be more interested in defending yourself than helping to inform accurate information about the AMG GT.
I am not interested.

I suggest you get off the forum. This is a waste of our time. Dont respond unless you have tech info to provide.

I posted a substantial piece of info in the form of screenshots above... For your benefit and for which I got no thanks. I was hoping it would help with your question and provide some information. No good deed goes unpunished I suppose.

If you are going to ask a question and then not listen to the answer then I submit you are wasting your own time.

Again, this has nothing to do with my question about Adaptive Suspension. I am getting tired of this . You are wasting our time.It is not about you but about the car.

Agreed. Although your pedantry with respect to my previous posts did go on for some time.

Has your question been answered now or are you still seeking further clarification?

Do you find it makes much difference on the track?
Sorry bro I am referencing my 2018 gts. Looks like it’s not available on the 2018 gt?

As I prefaced earlier, I don’t track so not sure it makes a difference daily driving but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t hurt.

My 991 GT3 has similar features like the dynamic engine mounts.

Yes I see what you mean. The two websites counterdict each other. Hmmm.
But, yes it can not hurt.You say you dont have a stiffer ride than the standard. Is that the case?
If so then it is a good option.

I don’t have experience driving a base GT but the ride is definitely cush compared to my GT3.

I heard the 2016 GTS was a rougher ride compared to my 2018 GTS but I cant substantiate it with hard evidence.

DPP suspension has stiffer spring rates and has more aggressive alignment settings.
