Picked up the car a few days ago.
Have not had much seat time yet, can't say the ride feels more harsh than the old GTR.
Only drove it around town a bit, maybe 100km. Going on a 800-1000 km road trip tomorrow to break it in and then track day on Monday.
Curious to know if MB did anything to the exhaust. It does sound a smidge better, maybe all in my mind.

A few of the different cluster settings.
While I though I would not be a fan of the digital gauges. I must say I am really liking what I see so far.

Beautiful car. What PSI will you be running on the track? I’m always a fan of keeping it front and centre. That digital cluster will be useful imo.

Which track you hitting Monday? Looking forward to the feedback!

Enjoy the drive today. Seeing yours makes us all antsy for ours to come!

Tire pressure I will be running is 24-26 cold, which translates to 30-32 hot. I have a second set of track rims with the Cup2 ZPs.
Lesson learned, bring those tires up to temp before shenanigans

Just a local track, Castrol Raceway, Edmonton, Canada.

Awesome man. Let us know how she does! Super curious about everyday use as I plan on using mine as a daily as often as I can.

Canucklehead; what a gorgeous car! Did you get it protected with PPF?

Like you I love the digital dash; it will be super useful on the road course.

Re: Track Pace: it still pisses me off that MBUSA has not released this for their biggest market. It’s pathetic IMHO.

Enjoy and am awaiting your track report!

No protection yet, goes in next week. It did come from the factory with a patch just in front of the rear wheel down by the rocker. Good thing too, with 800km on the car it has already taken some good hits in those areas.

Now that I have taken it out of town on the highways at speed, every crack in the road is a pretty good whomp or thud. Definitely more solid than the GTR.

This track pace is different than the app version. This is available in the US. I have it on my C.
i am pretty sure I discussed in another thread how to get the app despite non release of the US version. I have this app on my iPhone and it works with the GTR.

Do you have the link to getting the App working on an iPhone and a regular GTR?

I’ll look for it but this app is not that great. Don’t get too excited!

So I found my post on the PL. you were actively involved as well in that thread. Here’s the bit about the app:

“This is for individuals in the US who NEED to see what this is.
I logged out of my iTunes app store account on my phone. I then created a UK iTunes account on my phone using a made up UK address. Use a real one if you can. It is just so you can go through the steps. Apple won't be sending you anything!!! This allowed me to look and download UK app store apps, which happen to have a track pace app, as expected. Then I logged out of my UK account and logged back in as my normal US account. After this point, the phone asks for the UK account password if there is an update for the app.
That is all!!!”

I asked AMG's official corporate account on Instagram and they told me to do this. They said they do not have an ETA on when it will be available
