Everybody Wins Watching a Mercedes-AMG GTS Drag a Jaguar F-Type R



Jaguar F-Type R versus Mercedes-AMG GTS. Britain versus Germany. V8 versus V8. Stock versus Tuned. This was a close one, but everybody’s a winner with such sweet pipe music.

Having owned an F Type R (RWD) and now the GTS (tuned) I'm actually surprised at how close this was along with the trap speeds at the 1/2 mile. I figured the F Type in the vid is a 2016 with AWD and would get the launch but the GTS didn't really pull away like I'm used to seeing in other vids.


Here is the vid so you don't have to go to the home page:

The GT seemed to start bad but it pulled away pretty well. I also hate those back shots, so damn hard to tell who is ahead. Glad they had the side view one also.

there is an other race with the AWD F type and it wins the drag race, while the GTS traped higher
