Both look great! Tough question time....if you had to get rid of one, which would it be? Thinking about trading the e63 for a gt(x).

edit: i do have another ride that seats five, so take out the size/number of people comparison

Thx

To be honest if it's up hill the wagon due to it's grip but the GTS with it's lighter weight and balance are a better choice if you want a better canyon carver in the flats and down hill..
One is a real sports car and the other can smoke most sports cars if ya want to, all you need is confidence in its grip and braking...

I'm just happy to own both and drive the **** out of them in the canyons...

If you don't need the seating room get the GTS, everything about it is awesome. This is one of the best car I've ever driven after a little work..

I did just a little to balance it out, I do like the way it feels with the extra track [spacers] and lower center of gravity.
It does make a difference you can feel.

Nice rides!

I was debating getting a GTS along with a daily driver, or a w213 to be the jack of all trades car. I see a lot of GTS' on the pre-owned market with some having very low miles. Just curious if there was something people don't like about it. Any complaints? I've heard the ride on the S is pretty stiff.

I was wondering why do people buy a GTS and put so few miles on it myself when I bought my 2016 with only 3,200 miles on it.
Cooler looking than my old boring 991 Turbo S and much more fun to drive.
The original owner had to pay $175k out the door and I picked it up for only $120k out the door a year and a half later... I guess some people have just too much money to waste.
The ride is spot on for a sports car in my opinion with the option to firm things up for smoother high speed roads.
I really like everything about the car except for the lack of any splash guards to protect the paint.

I finally got around to get a little video in the canyon that claimed my Rs211...
The GTS is quite a bit different, not in a bad way, just different. I do like the shorter hood and sight line of the wagon a bit better.

The road was kinda of dirty and it felt completely different than my AMG e63s wagon. I'll be back up to speed when things clear up..

I did a little video in my GTS with a couple of buddies yesterday with their new BMW M3 and Ford Mustang.
This was a crowded Sunday afternoon...

Thanks, one of the reasons I chose their colors was to drive and not worry about wax and show....
