2020 AMG GTC
That is torque' fo sho What do you think about the 2021 C63s? Dealer just told me its still on schedule for production first of March with delivery first of April. Only reason I knew about it because I was going to buy a 2020 GT (used) but the another delearship sold it from under me (which was prob a good thing). So I inquired locally and this DL told me they had this one ordered so I put on a deposit. I know right....stupid Covid...how dare it jacks up our vehicle ordering

No more MB:(
I think the 2021 C63 (w205-outgoing) is truly a serious car and worth a hard look. As for the incoming w206 with the four banger, ev assist and weighing 4500 pounds, no thank you. This makes the 2021 even more special. MB will add all kinds of fake exhaust notes on the new gen. I think BMW M might benefit from this.

I wonder if projected production numbers on the GT's will be impacted or will they produce a full run. My understanding is they are coming out with a gen in 2022?

Unless the order is locked, I would definitely add the DPP package and rear wheel steering to bring it closer to the GTC. As for the magno colors, they look nothing like primer. Our Night Black Magno was the coolest color with lots of blue sparkles close up. BMW frozen paints are more boring IMO. Just have to protect the paint...

I have no idea what your skill level as a driver is OP, but I can assure you that my 2016 GTS (even without a tune) without any nannies is quite a handful. We seem to be in some ways obsessed with how much power we can get, when we should be obsessed with how much car can we handle as a driver. Drive a rail car through the quarter mile (I used to do things just to feel fear since it is all I can feel) and you will think a 10 second quarter mile is slow. Believe me I have been advocating tuning cars for a pretty long time, but what I see today are a lot of cars that are far more competent than the even better than average driver is. OP my advise is decide what your purpose for the car is, what you want it to have, what you cant live without and you should come up with a pretty good idea of what you should be shopping for. The SUV I have coming in is probably faster (in a straight line) than my GTS and with about 2K it would be faster than any stock AMG GT. I have said this many times before but I know a lot of car people and maybe a very few of them have the skill to handle the cars they own. To me that is a shame, since without that skill they will never really be able to appreciate what they have spent so much money on. I still think Matte paint looks terrible no matter what it is on, but that is like all things that effect the senses, is subjective.
