Hello

I've been lurking around for a few weeks now in the AMG GT Forums. The car has captivated me.

Have always been a Corvette man but not sure I like the direction they are headed now. I've got an older C6 Z51 and am feeling the need to jump to a newer car. I'm gonna reserve final judgement for when I actually see the car and after a few months of me getting use to it.

I'm old school I guess. I've never thought of myself as that but it looks like that's how its working out.

2nd of 3 kids about to graduate from college and I think the 3rd will end up with a scholarship so I may be getting my life back, Haha.

If that happens I am eyeing the GTC and will likely pull the trigger. Wont be buying brand new though but one maybe a couple years old that's been treated well.

You might want to see if they have any slots open for the upcoming AMG road course at Road Atlanta. Really nice experience in which you can try out all of the AMG cars on the track.

Welcome Slowridr!!!

I guess that new mid engine Corvette doesn't appeal to you... I remember all the various times when Chevy has tried to make mid engine happen - looks like it will finally appear this time around. Kinda Lambo or Ferrari-esques is what I think is what they are going after. I'm with you - old school. The MB AMG GT is a very refined car.

Best of luck and post up some pictures!
