Hello,

Sorry about the cross-post, but some of you might be interested in picking up a set of MPSS tires, see details over here.

As a side note, I am selling these brand new tires that were never mounted because I am left Porsche-less at least for now. Traded in my 2015 C4S for a GTS. A different kind of GTS:



Happy to share about the driving experience if not considered as blasphemy around here. :-)

I love those but never driven one. Would love to hear a comparison.

Well. First, to minimize bias, I asked two of my friends to drive the AMG who both drove my 911 before and are also Porsche owners and enthusiasts. We pretty much agreed:
- more power: 911 Turbo (non-S)-like power (and weight), but all on the rears. (Duh...) With the hot-V setup, the lag is fine, really.
- does not drive like other AMGs: far more precise, direct, but that's honestly not saying much, I know.
- definitely less steering feel than the 911.
- the engine still defines the car: the v8 roars, making the entire experience "less sophisticated", more brutal.

These guys said it much better than I can: 911 Turbo vs AMG GT-S vs Nissan GT-R

Doug DeMuro is a less credible source nowadays as he gets so excited about EVERYTHING, but his take on the AMG GT-S is still a fun read/watch...
