Is the Mercedes AMG GT R a BETTER sports car than a 2024 C8 Corvette Z06?

[@bryanwashington9511]

Gorgeous car the wheels, the green, beefy brake rotors, looks like a fighter jet!

[@RaitisRides]

It’s a beast!

[@dnice362]

Just the feel when you sit in these things. It hugs you, makes you feel like you’re in a sports cars. It’s a great feeling. You don’t get the same in a lot of other sports cars around this price

[@RaitisRides]

That is so very true for sure!

[@juicyfruit6]

LMAO that guy at 16:29 running for his life! Probably heard you coming and crapped his pants!

[@Unsalted375]

I've always loved this car, the front of it looks like a mercedes, but the rear end slopes down like a porche

[@RaitisRides]

That’s a good way to describe it

[@Schaufelor]

The best thing about it is the insanely long hood. I love it. Together with the amg sound it has such a super car presence.

[@redcars72]

The color, the sound, the style!

[@RaitisRides]

It is Automotive Art

[@omarcortes5754]

I drove this car at Exotics Racing in Las Vegas and it's AMAZING. Would love to get one for me.

[@RaitisRides]

It would definitely be one to have in the garage

[@joebrito2066]

Mercedes AMG engineers had to kidnap the entire Accounting department to allow this car to be built. The 2024 update is a nice refresh with touchscreen infotainment. Great video Joe!

[@RaitisRides]

You are so right about that. I wanted to kidnap this car

[@fenrirslip]

The 2024 AMG GT is not just an update, it's the full-on second generation of the AMG GT.

[@joebrito2066]

@@fenrirslip it’s built upon the first generation. Don’t argue with me I worked on this team LOL.

[@fenrirslip]

@@joebrito2066 Damn, dude take it easy. The new GT shares the same platform with the new SL, and is a little larger as a result.

[@aaronhenschel1885]

yeah I can imagine when they said the color mango hell green is the offering

[@rickjames6867]

I love the Nürburgring. It is on my bucket list. This would surely be the car to have when going for fast lap times. This car looks phenomenal in that particular shade of green. Those gold aluminum wheels match the car perfectly. Super sexy sports car. I wouldn't be able to say whether or not this is better than the ZO6. Both cars are the real deal and pretty equal in my opinion.

[@suzanneflowers2230]

For me, RWD with the engine in front is the best setup.

[@malikmcintosh7797]

I love watching the face snap in and out of focus during the on throttle part of the videos. lol

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for taking the ride with me!

[@suzanneflowers2230]

JMO but I like the infotainment screen to be more integrated in the dash rather than sitting up there like a tv. Love the round vents.

[@MrTenhighguy]

Perfect paint and wheel color combo.

[@jeffreyblackwell5500]

Thank you Joe for another sports car review. I notice in your car collection. You do not own a Mercedes Benz. They are real good cars. My mom has a E320 it drives so smooth. But if I had to pick this car over the C8 I’m picking the C8. Thank you Joe for another great review.😀👍🏾

[@suzanneflowers2230]

Those are some of the most beautiful wheels I've ever seen. Pyrotechnic.

[@dejonbuick6070]

All I can say is wow, what a masterpiece of a vehicle Joe.😊😊😊

[@RaitisRides]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this one.

[@vindevhunta4905]

Love this car so much.. Perfectly spec ... Looks better than the new one

[@v12-s65]

11:32 thank God it's not touch. With the steering wheel you can control it perfectly while keeping your focus on the road. Also no finger prints

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Yes of course Joe & I can't wait to drive this.

[@RaitisRides]

You would love to drive this

[@frankthecat]

That sound 😮😮😮❤❤❤

I know right! Pure music to my ears!

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

Happy Sunday, Joe. I hope you and Lori are back home 🏡 relaxing, brother 😎

[@hardik875]

Hey Joe, with engines like these, please also include the initial crank sound when you press the engine start button. It adds the extra charm to the engine sounds

[@CobraShuttle]

I've always loved this car for the looks, the color and the engine. I'm glad the drive doesn't disappoint!

Man I love those wheels! On throttle Joe. 🔥🔥

[@suzanneflowers2230]

Every young driver needs to get this sound memorized, and have the experience of at least trying out a car like this. It's not just about transportation, but the art and science of the craftsmanship involved.

What a monster. That color is beautiful and the sound is chefs kiss

[@dannordqvist77]

You need one of these Joe! What a machine!

[@RaitisRides]

The challenge is it does not have a manual.

[@olivierdevries01]

Joe - I had the opportunity to drive the GT-R at the AMG Academy at Laguna Seca. Incredible mechanical grip! And the brakes are impressive as well. They really did a great job setting up this car. I'm curious though, was the exhaust stock on that car? I don't remember hearing that much burbling.

[@daynevickers1079]

What a gorgeous brute of a car. You know Joe's impressed when he has to ask, "Where's my towel?"

Almost as nice as my dad's 1960, Rambler Rebel Turquoise V8, I used to steal it when I was 14 and drove around the neighborhood with it. I felt sorry for that guy that crossed the street, when you were barreling by, I think he dropped a box of Twinkies on the sidewalk.😅

Amazing review Joe.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for letting me bring it to you!

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

@@RaitisRidesYou're welcome Joe.

[@bryy2053]

Close your eyes in a vacuum, no brand allegiance, no bias, and tell me this isn't the top 3 most exciting sounds of any engine ever made. It has the low and medium grunt, the high end isn't obnoxious like many others, and the pops are consistent. 90% of drivers would wish their cars sound like this, given performance was there which would allow me to accept the green hell/gold color. The performance and sound make the color fit.

[@RaitisRides]

Great way to put it!

[@SurprisedCentaur-xh5cp]

When I arrived at work today my boss said good morning and I responded very loudly ON THROTTLE!!!! she winked and smiled !😂

Holy crap that's gonna be one of the best sounding engines I've ever heard' AMG🔥

[@George-ux6zz]

Hey Joe. Maybe bcuz the front end is so long. But it didn't look like it was going as fast as the Z06 for some reason. Nice fast looking car though.

FYI. Bi turbo is twin turbo. And no, one turbo doesn't spool up before next. It's a hot V setup with one turbo for each bank(cylinder head). They are the same size turbo and spool together.
