EDIT - sorry thought you were talking about the AMG GTR. the normal one doesn't do much for me.
Really :? you drive a ZMC & like the £150k 585bhp AMG GT-R but the "normal" £100k 462bhp version doesn't do much for you :rofl: yeah right :oops: wouldn't the 680bhp black edition be more engaging :driving:

I know its a beautiful car but i cant help seeing Apaches shooting arrows at it trying to stop it before the canyon bridge :tumbleweed:
I see your train of thought. :rofl:

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

I’ve driven an SLS Black in anger (on a track) and it was an immensely capable vehicle. I would think the AMG GT R would be incrementally better given their respective performance figures, ring lap times, etc.
Accepting the demise of the manual, I suspect there are few two seat coupes that would be comparable on road and track.

Got to drive a GTR, GTS and a GTC a few years back with work, only up and down the road though. See them all around Stuttgart and because of work, I'm completely bored of them. Can't say the same about the 911's, would much rather have one of those although the Black Series is an awesome looking car but at 350k euros, a bit excessive. The last in the GT range so they're going balls to the wall.

From what is shown of the house, I suspect the cars are worth more!

If you can afford to have £300k worth of car on the drive, then generally you have your priorities in order way better than most people :?

I quite agree :D Plus, it might just be their commuter home, their ‘daily beater‘ if you like.

Aside from that, why spend more on a house you won’t ever get the use from? Pointless having a huge house and garden if you’re just a couple who hate gardening!

A new-build house of that size in Edinburgh could be around £800k-£1m.
