TheStraightPipes the GTC in Silver with black accents

[@shahulhusman]

I'd take a gtr but this is second.. Great review as always.. Will make my team watch it

[@fogdood6868]

I'd take any

[@AerOR2]

TheStraightPipes I would totally drive it like you guys did and after watching this video I think I would take the gtc over any amg gt! And I like the red interior.

[@joeljeffrey9139]

Hmm, I think the upcoming 2019 Porsche Boxster Spyder will provide some competition

[@Yathuprem]

Ford raptor : 2192mm AMG GTC Roadster : 2075mm

[@AeEfKay]

'MURICA

[@tylermalone2425]

4.6 inches smaller than the raptor

[@NoName-nf5xl]

Awkward moment..........

[@harrismi7]

The proportions of this are great. It reminds of an old musclecar with fat tires, long hood, short deck, and wide fenders. So cool!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Exactly!

[@max.power89]

It's like a german version of a dodge viper!

[@harrismi7]

Max Power you’re right!

[@jebbush8491]

+Max Power the SLS was literally that, Mercedes took the Viper chassis IP from Chrysler and made it their own.

[@pckl300]

harrismi7 The back end reminds me of the Z8.

[@YuriTereshyn]

I’d like to thank Mercedes for building cars that always look amazing in thumbnails.

[@NiTeHaWKnz]

Yeah but you look so damn small behind the wheel - of most cars XD

[@SM-1010]

NiTeHaWKnz there’s booster seats

[@alalal123421]

are you kidding? they look hideous

[@YuriTereshyn]

[@davidjames6247]

Just took delivery of my special order Himalayan Grey Metallic/Black with both interior and exterior blackouts...HANDS DOWN best factory exhaust I've ever heard!!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Congrats! Super jealous

[@wajahatnoor2966]

Wow! Congratulations for the 200k subscribers!!!! Can't wait it to hit a million now

[@TheStraightPipes]

No vlogs

[@lyubomirgeorgiev1465]

I am sure they will reach a million easily with just reviews but it will take some time. I give them 1 year from now will get back to this comment section then haha

[@ElGranCaminante001]

@@lyubomirgeorgiev1465 Hi from the future. They're 1m now :)

[@Barobran92]

If I saw these 2 cars driving down the road together, the beauty would bring a tear to my eye. 😢

[@craigpaley658]

Love your channel! 2 years after watching this video I have today put down my deposit on a 2018 AMG GTC in the UK in matt grey - picking it up on Tuesday. Looking forward to the pops and bangs!!

[@matijadebeljak9229]

Congrats on 200K guys! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@italiaforzaroma2283]

0:18 That Dan Ricciardo saying! LOVE IT.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Danny Ric is the man

[@maxselman7293]

Closest competitors would probably be the Maserati GranCabrio, Jag F Type SVR convertible, and maybe the BMW M6. I would love to see those in the future on your channel, but great video!

[@milli2385]

I interviewed for a sales position at MB St. Louis today. They have a red GTS in the showroom and I was drooling over it... I get home and this is the SP video! Amazing

[@TheStraightPipes]

If you subscribe to us, tell MB St Louis we put in a good word for you.

[@jbrenofficial]

18 minutes flies by when you're having fun

[@DansomeWoja]

I could watch these two anyday. And they live near by!

[@amacl10]

Really nice. But a fully loaded LC 500 is one car I would take over this

[@gianhet]

You guys are so genuinely happy to review these cars, brings a smile to my face every time

[@BeesonsCars]

Blaring music through the Burmester sound system with the top down doing a full send sounds incredible. Being a Mercedes fanboy I still didn’t like this car at first, but now I love the look of it. Just wish the interior was a bit nicer. At least the roadster doesn’t have the heated/cooled seats control panel on the roof like the coupe. Makes it feel more like a normal car.

[@BenDunlop]

was this filmed around Georgetown? looks similar. great video as usual guys, and congrats on the subscriber milestone!

[@mikesell123]

I subscribed, I sponsored. xD Favorite part (besides the whole car), when putting the top down, there are two little wings by the headrests that fold down, Transformers style!

[@YuriTereshyn]

Juancarlos Mikesell yes!! It’s so subtle but so luxury.

[@susnjarante1]

Nice vid. This is my favorite AMG car as well and only because of that crazy exhaust! Great work as always guys!

[@stupiddragon4690]

Wow, Great video you guys! It was entertaining and pretty fun to watch. Love the originality of how you talk back and forth in the video.

[@siic]

AMG GT series just look beautiful

[@1972juankarlos]

how come you don't have a MILLION subs right now.... you're the best

[@SteveC-Shaman]

Nice cars, and if this had been available when I got my Turbo S I might have chosen one. But I couldn't even find a GT-S for sale when I went looking for a car. Not upset at all with the Turbo S and I think I'd still choose it. The sound would get old for me, I think ... I have learned that drawing attention to yourself has pluses and minuses.

[@tommydude969]

Once you get in an AMG GT you'll never want to get out. After driving one if you don't completely fall in love with it you'll at least understand why others do.

[@BIG_TOE]

That hood. Inline 8cyl TT.. Imagine that...

[@cameronknowles6267]

V16

[@KayvonGz]

Cameron Knowles v24

[@CP-vg4vy]

Flat-16

[@trevonandrews1785]

It’s not as wide as the Raptor, but it’s close. You guys said that the Raptor is 80 inches wide, the F150 is 79.5 inches, and this car is 78.74 inches wide!

[@MrMustangrick]

Awesome, looking for a used coupe now. Big discount over new.

[@TheStringBreaker]

Bangers everyday! Love where the channels headed

[@DoctorChange106]

Yuri's car better colors for me, great review, what's next ??

[@YuriTereshyn]

Kevin Niemi 911’s

[@TheStraightPipes]

Next video already up on Patreon

[@tanton1998]

Officially sponsoring my local Ontario car guys. Keep making cool stuff!

[@GlitterGuru]

You passed the opportunity to compare 2 different AMG models for a head-to-head comparison? Maaaaaaan

[@MicahB98]

Love this car! I feel bad for Canada tho, in America we've had this car since 2017

[@Cychopath99]

Canada too have had this car since 2017

[@MicahB98]

Then why did they say it hasn't come out yet?

[@TheStraightPipes]

GTS roadster is what we said

[@MicahB98]

ohhh gotcha! Thanks for the clarification, also keep the good work up!

[@teacake6941]

Ya know.... that CTS-V has 640 horses and an EPIC exhaust note and sales are slowing down a bit with fuel prices rising.... I bet you could get a CTS-V from a Cadillac dealership pretty easily... and maybe give that infotainment system a proper assessment.

[@dhruvdesai4668]

200k congratulations

[@Atomb]

I like the old Z8 look to the back end.

[@bathong188]

8:32 god damn. Just too cool.

[@redzoom7857]

It looks AMAZING in black!

[@tenhundredkills]

Gotta agree, AMG has the best exhausts of any factory exhaust!

[@StarAlexxx]

Comparison: Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC+ Coupé -vs- Mercedes-AMG S 65 Coupé

[@MatrixDiscovery]

That pop pop, is gasoline being destroyed along with your wallet.

[@mangoldm]

2:15 Yuri is filming and the dark-haired guy is his body double. My momma din’ raise no fool!

[@TheStraightPipes]

That’s Yuri’s brother lol

[@mangoldm]

TheStraightPipes love it! We need to see how you guys produce your vids. Top-notch production.

[@AB-hi6ru]

You guys rock!

[@Wenatic]

2 is better if you know what I mean. GTR is my favorite. Mclaren is my favorite car brand so I'm biased.

[@greenkey5249]

Dope video 👍

[@cryptopimp5855]

Now you can get an amg gtr convertible. Best of both worlds! :)

[@robertyee4331]

transaxle.....just like y '87 944.... well balanced...close to 50/50.... have FUN boys!! 'Gun SHOTS'...only with GT C AMG's!!

[@HodsBroo]

Carrera GT S Cabrio, Corvette Gransport Convertible, Jaguar F Type R Roadster are all competitors.

[@TheStraightPipes]

None of those are front-mid engine

[@HodsBroo]

TheStraightPipes yaaaaa that's true but they are high end sports cars 💁‍♂️

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes!

[@HodsBroo]

TheStraightPipes Sorry, meant to say F Type R. V6/V6S compete more with Cayman and Cayman S. Modified my comment lol. 😂

[@parkerk3545]

Kicka$$ review guys!

[@gregorythomas4470]

Porsche 928!! Only convertible and minus the 928’s cool tendency to break down every 35 miles!

[@hkliu8632]

It's getting too complicated with too many specs! Just do one or 2 spec and be done with it! But keep the pops!!!

[@speedlife301]

The carbon tq tube , transmission in the back front engine mid mounted all things the zo6 has as well but it’s faster than this and the zr1 would murder this as well. So if this is a super car they are to. Zo6 is cheaper but this cost as much as a zr1

[@keithb1258]

Great thing about Michigan... NO FRONT LICENSE PLATE! Woot woot

[@ishaanbhat4512]

review the Mercedes S650 Maybach. It is crazy luxury !!!

[@thatomosifane9616]

From the back that black GT-C reminds me of a Honda S2000

[@phil649]

0:31 so awesome hahaha

[@alexgrazie93]

12:00 Me: ~plays The Weeknd~ Uuuuuuuuu I'm blinded by the liiights!

[@kellingtonlink956]

Besides ... an SL has an extra 154 litre in it’s boot (trunk).

[@ElectronikReviews]

It looks so good other than the headlights

[@lavnathsingh6919]

Black any time 👍🏻

[@tcesarmarcelo]

3:18 who is that guy in the black car? Doesn’t look like Yuri 🤔

[@YuriTereshyn]

Marcelo Cesar it’s my brother.

[@tcesarmarcelo]

you're joking

[@TheStraightPipes]

Nope.

[@tcesarmarcelo]

but why is he in your place?

[@sleighte]

well, then Yuri would be in the black car and we'd wonder where his brother is

[@bigcuck4361]

Please do the AMG GT R next!

[@bigcuck4361]

NVM, you already have lmao.

[@autobahn8345]

If the interior would be more sporty/elegant and less macho, I would immediately buy one.

[@emmanuelcruz2159]

Cant wait for the new vantage roadster🔥🔥🔥

[@ComblessMan]

I thought I would buy one but, I am about $8.37 short. Damn. Now I have to look at another vehicle. Can I have the black one. I like the grill it reminds me of the 1950's roadsters. I would prefer the red interior tho'.

[@ToreHansen]

That US bumpers really lifted the European design to the next level - said no one ever.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Hahahah

[@yellfire]

Its strange how deceiving video images can be because irl the GT doesnt look big at all despite being almost 2 mtr wide . In contrast to e.g. the Panemera which looks suprisingly big in real life but is not impressive at all on video !

[@MrDaishee]

Guys this Carsound record is a little bit bedder...come on i know you can do it real good, put a Micro behind the Cars

[@TheStraightPipes]

Inspiring

[@DrOneOneOne]

Who's the bearded guy in the black one ? It's not Yuri, anyway.

[@YuriTereshyn]

DrOneOneOne it’s my brother

[@shahulhusman]

Gts roadster scrapped for US market now.. Gtc cab is amazing.. Have a great grey one we just git that need to sell lol

[@aadityanaik6497]

F type svr is God of exhaust

[@ChangezShaikh]

Pop, Pop!

[@roublemac3882]

But how many boxes can it fit??

[@NoTime4It]

Someone obviously really liked that GTC..

[@mickel1138]

I don't like the offset license plate. BTW, who's the stunt-driver, driving "Yuri's car"?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yuri

[@gussiciliano1428]

They sound quite

[@alexdb77]

I want one.... I mean 2!

[@DriveVersity]

You teased us long enough LOL that was orgasmic :I the sooouuuundddddd!!!!!!!! XD And id take the black with red interior Its just too gangster...also my car now is the same colour combo so some bias there :3

[@meghanrussell358]

Would take the McLaren, but these AMGs are still baddies. You guys should do more racing videos. Supercar vs supercar would be so fun to watch.

[@YuriTereshyn]

Meghan Russell I’d love to race cars against jakub.

[@TheStraightPipes]

I'd love to race cars against Yuri

[@tallll70]

Who put that screen on dash ? Im sorry, but i will never accept this style of floating screens, it looks sooo cheapy

[@TheStraightPipes]

I love it. In a vw right now, having to look so far down is so distracting.

[@ShanerTheGrey]

Not a supercar. Also the 922 are the real squad goals.

[@mosubedar]

Where are these roads? It looked like somewhere near Milton. Please let me know.

[@robervin9107]

more bro bonding

[@drewyager4020]

What about CT-C or the AMG wagon?

[@TupacsStepSisterlocoman]

the licence plate ruins the look :-(

[@scriptedhuman]

If I owned those cars, I would be pissed about what all that popping is doing to the exhaust and emissions controls.

[@samwh4775]

Best exhaust ??? What about the lexus LFA and the carrera GT ?

[@mrbriantheross]

"tires warmed up EH".... SO CANADIAN

[@esmailrezaie7013]

You guys should review a Bugatti Chiron.

[@VG22.]

you guys should review the f type SVR for legit POPPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPPSSS

[@TheStraightPipes]

We will

[@VG22.]

HELL YEAH :D

[@areemessi]

I prefer one car vids :D

[@viranjith]

Awesome video guys! One constructive note: you guys say the word actual or actually way too many times!!! perhaps add an “actual” counter on your videos. LOL Keep up the good work.

[@patricksmith6773]

Don't like popping exhaust - advantage?

[@smithy_rs7]

See if u can get your hands on an audi ttrs

[@austinoidas1745]

ontario need to get rid of the front license plate it looks real bad on this car & most super cars & hyper cars

[@imakegetsugatenshou]

Jacob looks like Xyp9x from Astralis

[@PresidentJackBauer]

Pretty sure it would lose to a z06, it'll probably beat a grand short

[@zacharyparis]

I'd punch a grandma for one of those cars.

[@MiaoWinson02]

Better roadster look on SL series (63&65)

[@TheStraightPipes]

We reviewed it too

[@MiaoWinson02]

TheStraightPipes Will SL63 or 65 stop it’s production due to GTC or the GT series?

[@steveoncars8909]

Ok need advice should I Keep my 992 911 cab 4s or Buy a gt c roadster or gt r roadster or 570s spyder or R8 performance spyder or Vet convertible or Turbo s or targa s 992 if I can get an allocation
