[QUOTE="ArabianOak, post: 16267357, member: 127831"] Ok, here are my initial impressions of the e63 amg s vs the amg gts… First off, these are two different cars. The E63S is a midsize 4 door luxury rocketship and the GTS is Mercedes version of vette...ha. It supposedly was made and designed to beat the 911. I wanna start by saying the E63S is definitely a superior car. The electronics and interior are one gen ahead of the GTS. The motor and trans are one step ahead as well...as pat mentioned the E63 has better turbos, a 9 speed trans and many more features. It's faster than the GTS stock and faster than the GTS tuned vs tuned. I ran 10.8@127 in 95 degree heat and 2800 DA a few weeks ago in my E63. It's probably a 10.4 or 10.5 car near 130 in the fall. I will be finding out once it cools off. The E63 is so good that I have trouble explaining how much I actually love the E. Coming from the RS7 and thinking there was nothing better but then finding out I was wrong...that's how good the E is. I don't think there are many cars that could beat it stoplight to stoplight. Its also very comfy. Massaging seats that are heated and cooled, self driving cruise, cameras all over it and it looks awesome. I get around 25mpg on the highway with it...not bad for a car with 773hp and 776tq!!!! Now the GTS... Coming out of the vette was tough for me. The vette was so good at everything and unlike my other vettes, it didn't rattle! haha... However, that first drive in the GTS made me realize what a real drivers car feels like. I have never felt so connected to the road before driving the GTS. It handles so so so good. It's so controllable, unlike the vette. Don't get me wrong, the vette is controllable but not all the time. The GTS makes you feel like you can do whatever you like and survive with ease. It's dam fast.
