I fell in love with this car in five miles and I hope I captured it properly in this episode. What do you think?

[@clu4u]

Jawohl, mein Herr!

[@askaribr1]

What a car ... you fall in love with it...if i have the money i would buy it to you 😘😘

[@sanjmal9568]

As always, an excellent review. Not a usual car KZbinr! - But an enthusiast!!! Well done.

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed. Hope you stick around.

[@sanjmal9568]

I surely will!

[@allensaunders449]

Misg car channel's on you tube are enthusiasts. This is a nice vid not really a fan of these cars, but to each his own

[@AdrianSQ90]

My wife daily drives an AMG GT C roadster. Seems like the best option unless you plan to go to the track. No fixed spoiler but I think it looks better that way.

[@BrianMakse]

I’d like to try that spec, but I really like the chassis set up if this R.

[@AdrianSQ90]

@@BrianMakse The car has Sport Cup 2s on it now. What would you recommend for her no track usage when its time to replace them?

[@BrianMakse]

Is that the OE tire on the GT C? If so, that’s wild. Anyway, replace them with the same size Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Super Sport or whatever their top non R-compound tire is. Great tires.

[@AdrianSQ90]

@@BrianMakse Is was a tire option from new. We bought it slightly used so that's what it has.

[@BrianMakse]

Gotcha. Crazy that it’s an option. Great tire, but it’s pretty aggressive for a street legal tire. If it’s mostly dry where you live, it’s pretty usable, but they do wear quickly.

[@BruceRosenblatt]

Absolutely excellent review!

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed! Hope you stick around.

[@Reignz]

this car is BEAUTIFUL

[@chrisej5987]

My next car must have 3 pedals, but a well used, driver condition GT S would be soooo cool. There's just something about this design! And it's even better in person. 😍

[@BrianMakse]

They do have some presence!

[@chrisej5987]

Only loosely related, but it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts on the W204 C63 (6.2L version) from a driving perspective. Some would argue that it was peak C63. At least I'd selfishly like to think so.

[@paulm6481]

I may be in minority but I don’t find this car good looking or necessary. If I am getting a convertible I prefer a softer ride for cruising. I take a Lexus LC 500 with smoother ride and beauty inside and out. Mercedes should go to SL soft riding roadsters and leave GT for hard core sports driving in coupe form. But in any case, visually there is nothing organic here, just comes across as trying too hard, way too much width.

[@BrianMakse]

To each his own, as they say.

[@clu4u]

WTH does “organic” have to do with it?

[@dtruth5769]

ANOTHER BORING VIDEO FROM UNCLE FESTER, WITH NO PERFORMANCE TESTING. MORE OF A CAR COMMERCIAL.

Look at you now, you small, angry keyboard hero! You’re using all caps now!
