Relax Larry, evo is part of the presstitute media shilling for the manufacturers. All this means is Porsche wouldn't pay them enough. All these big media outlets are good for any more is advertising. Anyone seriously wants to know what's going on already knows to watch the Getawayer, Chris Harris, etc. Of course the guys like the Getawayer who tell the truth don't always tell you what you want to hear (the GTS is just a 911S) but at least then if they say its better than a Mercedes you know you can believe it. Drive your GTS with pride. Just don't get sucked into any running roll-offs with the AMG! Dust him in the canyons. More fun anyway.

Looks like Auto Express tagged along on the same trip...

As for the results, not concerned... no doubt the AMG GT is a nice car but its not a 911. Plus no rear seats means it is not an option for me at this point. From what I can tell it will be even more expensive than the GTS here in Canada too but remains to be seen...

Evo must be an AMG lover like JC... frankly you couldn't give me one... there is nothing about the M-B/AMG brand that excites/attracts me.

But the GTS just beat the Merc in a Road & Track review. You just have to read into it and see what it is you want in a car. Brute force and very good handling = AMG (assuming you like how it looks). Precision and amazing handling = Porsche. Add to that heritage, better looking (IMO), availability of manual, then it's a no brainer. And actually as long as Porsche is the only one offering manual, that will be the only choice for me.

beat in what? For all of these articles, including the ones where the GTS wins, who knows what they mean. "Beat" is a very subjective term.

Waiting for the EVO video comparison... What's this reading articles business. 
Give me sounds motion, some sounds, some tire shredding.
