New delivery

After 5 months the new GTS has finally arrived, first 150 miles has confirmed I made a good choice.

Clearly not your thing so no offense intended, but I'm quite sure the exterior shot is the worst photo composition I've ever seen... and the car still looks great!


Well played, going all-in on the options, that machine is an awesome thing.

I don't blame you at all! I intend to spend a lot more time sitting inside one than peeking at it from behind a lens soon. The interior in these things is such nice place to be, in addition to its being a true sports car.

Congrats on the new beast. It looks stunning in that color combo and it will be probably be an extremely rare one.
Tell us how it compares to your C4S since MB intended it to be its competitor.

Looks amazing. Some darker wheels would be a huge difference maker. Congrats!

I have done the murdered out look on a few car over the last 10 years, it's funny I now feel unique with GTS in not doing it. I ordered the chrome package and the because I thought they set off car nicely.

In regards on how it compares to my C4S both are great cars but not really directly comparable, GTS is more fun, a better drivers car and higher performance and the C4S is better everyday sports car.

After a few hundred run in miles I explored the upper Vmax envelope last night, at a buck 90 it's surprisingly more stable than my former 991 turbo S.

More photos later today after I get it cleaned up.

I like the wheels - they accent

the "Are You Talking To Me" persona

that the GT S projects

I would like to see this with

HRE P103's w/Brushed clear finish

Great purchase

Enjoy the exhaust sound


Thank-You
