Hello,

I wanted to write a honest feedback about my AMG 2018 GTR with a quick comparison with my previous cars.

Mclaren 570s: Easy to drive, its chassis is better, but big reliability problem.
Porsche 991.2: Turbo, reliable but less fun to drive, less agile.
Porsche 991 GT3: reliable, easy to drive, lack of sensation during acceleration, better suspension.
Camaro ZL1: Reliable, monstrous to drive, lack of rigidity at the rear.
AMG GTR: Reliable, overheating brake, too much firecracker when decelerating, good acceleration sensation, bad suspension(Significant mass transfer between the front and rear)


This is not a race or a competition, but videos between friends where no risks are taken, or no one has anything to prove.

 

Never thought I would see an S2000 pass a GTR…

 

Never rely on the appearance of a car.
I have owned a Honda S2000, Civic Type R, and a Honda NSX.
These are very reliable and efficient cars with few modifications.

My best time on that track that day was 1m34s, following my friend's S2000.
Without slowing down when catching up to the Porsche and the S2000, I could have done 1m32s, and with a better line, I think I can reach 1m30s.
With Trofeo R tires and a camber adjustment for the track, I think I can reach 1m28s.

 

Please specify your brake setup:

OEM Steels, or OEM Carbon Ceramics?

Tried any brake ducting?

 

My comparison is based on original cars.
For my first track test, I had the original steel brakes with Tikt scoops.
Big disappointment.

I then installed Ferroro DS1.11 pads with BF Goodridge hoses + RBF700.
On the passenger side I left the Tikt scoops and on the right side I installed aluminum scoops.
The result is clear, simple scoops on the lower triangle are more efficient than the Tikt scoops.
I measured 30°C less on the side with the aluminum scoops.
320°C without scoop, 290°C with Tikt scoop
320°C without scoop, 260°C with aluminum scoop.
I no longer have any brake problems, I drove for 45 minutes without stopping, about 30 laps.

 

Interesting.

What Brand, and from where did you purchase the Aluminum Scoops?

 

I mean, is anybody going to say it? We have become like sheep here.
