2017 AMG GT
Well Monday Tuesday will be the worst here. You should get lots ans lots of real hard rain and wind. But we'll all survive I am sure.
As I am sure you are aware, people go absolutely crazy with these storms!!
GTR-- I would hope it is late next week. But I am real nervous about the GTR's being outside all this time comment from the guy from Palm Beach. IF IT'S TRUE, NOT GOOD!!
COTA-- I will ve buying you that steak if I can get there.
Best Regards

I feel very sorry for you Sinead. Sounds like you are for sure a SOUR PU$$. You did ask about PORSCHE but the more I think about it, you cannot afford to buy one. I get it. Just be content with a USED AMG. You'll do fine with it.

2017 AMG GT
who says my amg GT is used? It was bought brand new. I actually bought 2 brand new cars the same day cash, but whatever dude.
obviously, I don't want a GT Porsche bad enough to go through the process. I bought what I preferred.
A gt porsche may be nice for your father, but it's not what I want.
The last 911 I bought brand new in 2011 was 85k. I have a real issue paying significantly more for essentially the same car. It's not worth it to me. I would rather go buy a used Ferrari from the Ferrari dealer, so I can get on the list to order a 488 at msrp.
furthermore, if you just look at every thread I've ever started, you'll see that I've owned at least 5 brand new AMGs in the last 2-3 years, so money isn't really a problem for me.
Im pretty blessed and thankful.

A few years ago when I got fed up with BMW and their big fat heavy cars, all based on the seven series with horrible electronic steering and no sporty feel at all, I ranted and raved and insulted their cars on bimmerpost and I got banned for life so quickly. I will admit I was trolling to amuse myself. He is doing the same. I guess it's a lot harder to get banned over here.
Anyways, I don't want a GT3. I think a 911 GTS is a better daily driver and I don't want that either. I actually bought what I wanted. Geez go figure right?

The Dodge Viper is not made in Canada. It is one of the few cars that was actually made in Detroit. Where do you guys get your information from?

Maybe MB is just letting the hype build. Make everybody beg for 3 months.....people hold on to these things and it will be the second straight amg special to hold or go up in value and help sell the black series. you can't sell it before you even get a chance to drive in some nice weather.

To be fair, Dodge did make some high-performance vehicles in Canada (Charger, Challenger) but I don't know if that extends to the SRT vehicles or not.

HEADS UP: GTR AND GTC OWNERS
THE GOOD NEWS: We Finally have EPA Fuel Economy Standards
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Powe...GT&srchtyp=ymm
THE BAD NEWS: It looks like there will be a gas guzzler tax on BOTH the GTR and the GTC.
ALSO, we don't currently have a EPA smog rating.
We may see cars being delivered very shortly now.
Best wishes

Jerry you saw the c63s and e63s get listed here a few weeks ago and still no movement. While I agree this is moving in the right direction I think we already found out this is not what is holding up the cars. From my understanding this simply allows reprogramming to start. After that it's a lot of testing, then submission and then reprogramming. It seems like this essentially starts the 90 day process. Geez!

Tony:
I agree who really knows. But the fact that the EPA Fuel Standards Certification for ALL of the new AMG big motor cars aligns with the very recent "reprogramming" post makes me think they are on the move.
ALSO, we don't currently have a EPA smog rating.
Just an opinion of course.
Too bad Mercedes/Amg won't let us know the official status.
Best Regards

Where do you see the smog rating? I also noticed there is no safety ratings listed for the gtr and e63s like there is for the other 2018 cars which are available for immediate delivery.

no more OT posts or 2 weeks time out (I sound like a parent with a 10 year old child but I have no other remedy).
Ok how about this sad pic to cheer you all up; Edition 1 E63s' just collecting dust vs being able to operate on the street killing BMW's

I did hear a few people have given up and walked away since the car was supposed to be out in May. I am going to hang on for one; the performance for that car is crazy given its weight.

Those are all the Edition 1 Cars in the special Night Black Matte paint--- I think most dealers get 1 with a few getting 2 and Fletcher Jones getting 3.
