High tech silver looks so good. It'll be hard for me to select any other color but am keeping an open mind. Black or graphite grey magno would also look good, but I think the brake calipers then need to be in gold to provide some contrast.

Thanks for posting - his CGI person is a wizard. Magmabeam looks better than I expected but I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to spec it. Graphite grey magno looks menacing but definitely needs colored calipers to give it some life.

That said, I think silver looks classic (boring?) and will age the best. I'll probably flip flop on colors 10 times before my spec locks.

Car looks great in Magmabeam although it’s a pity the factory won’t allow customers to order an extended range of existing MB paints. Solar Beam Yellow would likely be my first choice.

I disagree. And a normal 992 is not a competitor to the GT Black. New Z06 sounds way better.

I’d say yes, other AMG models came to the US with OPF filters an 99% that BS will follow

Eager to see Christian’s numbers. His times are the most realistic and believable ones on the ring (vs. factory driver, etc.).

Not to thrilled about "piped in" sound. Since OPF (I assume) is not required in the US. Will US cars sound better?

Other cars that do this: BMW M5, McLaren MP4-12C. The McLaren’s fake sound could be turned off, hated that hollow noise. Hopefully the GT BS can be turned off as well?
