Picked the GTR up from Eurocharged ATX with new shoes and a tune. Holy ****.

So Tuesday I dropped her off with Eurocharged ATX here in Austin and I must say...I'm beyond happy.
The baseline on this car was completely insane. Bone stock this car made 574whp...we knew it would be high given that this car was FAST. It felt as fast as my tune/downpipes GTS that made well over 600whp. AMG sandbagged the hell out of this one!
They installed downpipes and added a tune utelizing E50 fuel. This thing now...is totally amazing. 677whp! Torque is waaaay up too and the power delivery is butter smooth.
They also installed my new Anrky AN12 wheels. The 21X12 with the 355 rears really set this car off. Its sooooo wide.

I can't say enough about the staff at Eurocharged ATX. It's always a pleasure dealing with true experts.

That’s a lot of hp bone stock- makes sense- feels like it has way more than 577 hp. Can’t imagine what another 100hp would feel like. Report back when u drive it more. I’m curious how much throttle u can apply in 1st and 2nd gear. Congrats!

Wheels all custom fitment, not spacers?

Remarkable look and I couldn't imagine the power, when you headed out to COTA for the AMG Academy?

Car looks great.

Does anyone make a 355 outside of Pirelli Pzero? I ran those before on another car. Looked cool but couldnt even hook 550whp.

Ya the baseline was crazy. This motor stock made ~100hp more than advertised.
I can answer your question....1st gear is literally worthless and 2nd isn't much better. 🤩😂🤣😅

Yup..these were definitely made specific for the AMG GTR. They fit so perfect.

Thanks! I think Michelin offers a 355 25 21 as well.

That wing looks incredible. There is something about the pedestal / base that really looks ‘right’ on that car.

Looks phenomenal.

Are you able to share the specs of the wheels (front and back)? I am super curious how the 355 will perform on track. That is an absurd amount of rubber (IE - the right amount haha)

Do you get any rub with 355s in the rear with the steering? I noticed there is a lot of rub in the front with the 275s

Ah Interesting. I should mention that it was rubbing at low speeds when I was maneuvering a parking lot. I never had any rub in the GTC at those speeds.
