GT3 RS, Huracan Performante? ......the later of which holds the record as the fastest standard production car at the ring
What I am finding fascinating is how diverse the range has become. One mans GT is anothers track weapon

Interesting, but what really is the "competition", as the 918 is a bit random?

The stock GT3RS (991) shows at 1.08,50 while a modified version beat both the 918 and the GTR at 1.05,80 (Manthey-Porsche 911 GT3 RS)
Not sure about the Performante, but the Huracan LP610-4 shows as 1.07,50
What I like is that the modified GT3RS run was by the same mag (sport auto) and the same driver (Christian Gebhardt) as the AMG GTR Nurburgring and Hockenheim runs, so it provides a pretty unbiased feedback.

Congratulations! That is a beautiful spec! Selenite Magno designo is going to be a very popular choice indeed...and for good reason.
I'm thinking of going with the iridium silver, but undecided on the matte vs polished finish.
Post more pics of the car on delivery please!

Gorgeous! Someone really needs to make that bumper for all of us 1st Generation GTS owners!

Here is the latest I received today from my MB representative in south Florida. " Just called distribution. They are waiting certification. They now say it is hopeful for end of month. The person I speak to at distribution says she gets 30 calls a day on the GTR...."

Hey Jswan ? Despite delays, how do you feel about your car being called a "toy".

BIG TOYS FOR BIG BOYS!!
I just ignore him and his other bud Germancar or whatever.
I am not sure either one of them are even old enough to drive yet.
Looks like we have CARB approval and recently EPA approval this week.
GTR GTC ROADSTER AND COUPE.
Now the VPC' s will soon have to start going over the whiole car due again to the 5 month storage issue.
Hopefully rhe highways eillbe loaded with car carriers in late August and early September.
BTW: Porsche had the same issues and handled it much better with their customers.
Best regards

Oh you sour pu$$, how are you enjoying your base AMG GT. Who buys base AMG GT nowadays? When are you getting an AMG GT-R, the real TOYZ 4 DA BIG BOYZ ? Whenever you can upgrade from base GT to GT-R, by then I will give you more props.
By the way please do not post erroneous and unsubstantiated lap times, it makes you look like a real tool.

Yo, yo, yo Swan, really PORSCHE had that problem too? You must have some unsubstantiated rumors too like our court stenographer ROMEOE55?
When you buy a PORSCHE you will know the day and night difference between luxury car and a true track warrior.
I hope you get your new toy before Christmas and enjoy to the fullest.

The Porsche guys are optimistic but that's because Porsche corporate is communicating with them frequently as well as the dealers.
So far they are getting free service maintenance for 2 years and some $$$$.
All it took was a few engine fires that they tried to hide for them to realize they should just tell the truth.

Hello there Swan. Nothing wrong with being forthright and honest correct? I am glad your dealer is updating you with your GT-R status. Sounds like a nice toy to have. Hoping you will enjoy and be trouble free with your new toy compared to your horrendous GT-S Edition-1. The wait is just atrocious to say the least huh?

I want to see some movement first. It MAY start after the end of the month.

They're not rumours, seems like all new Porsche/Mercedes vehicles are waiting for EPA Certification, there's some other threads on rennlist regarding the same thing too.

From my research there were a handful of delays like two to three weeks, but nothing like what is happening with GT-R being held, some since April this year. If you want one, there is well known AMG member who is selling his car held at the VPC since April. I can give you his contact information if you are a serious GT-R buyer? How is your base AMG-GT doing?
