Definitely not, it’s too heavy, isn’t as well balanced as the AMG and has too much oversteer…

Nope. It weighs too much, the handling isn’t as dialled in. It’s still the one I would rather have though.

Autosport tested the AMG GTS on the bench (MAHA LPS3000) and found that the engine power was more like 560HP rather than 510HP

The german cars always have more power than they announce

For example:
No BMW M5 or M6 leaves the factory with less than 600hp even though they announce just 560 hp

I would just like a RWD V8 F-Type, but I live in North America :(

F Type SVR coming but unfortunately it doesn’t come with a dual clutch auto, just a ZF

I would much rather have a V6 F Type than a V8. It’s more controlable if both were RWD, it’s RWD compared to the new F Type R.
