If I had the money...

Mercedes significantly updated their AMG-GT for 2024 which previously was a rear wheel drive 2 seater, and now lengthened 7 inches as a coupe with 2 rear seats and AWD. The 55 is projected to cost anywhere from 125k to 150k and the 63 about 40k more. Not that a car that is at least 2x to 3x the price is technically competition for a Mustang, but it is a 2+2 seat v8 coupe with 469 to 577 HP.

Oh, the updated Mercedes AMG-GT sounds like an absolute beast on wheels! The addition of rear seats and AWD is a game-changer for those who want both performance and a bit more practicality. Now, talking about the price, yeah, it's definitely on the higher end, but hey, you can't put a price on the thrill of driving a V8 coupe with that much horsepower. If you're ever daydreaming about owning one of those but need to find a way to fund it, you might want to check out money making games. They can be a fun way to hustle a bit and inch closer to that dream car.

Same. I'm a sucker for American muscle and design. Never saw the attraction to European cars, but everyone has their kryptonite. Mine just happens to wear a blue oval.

I think this looks better than the outgoing GT due to the more aesthetically pleasing dash to axle ratio. But in everything but 0-60 it will be a worse performer: heavier, worse weight distribution, and bigger.

I think Mercedes cheaped out by not tweaking this chassis to have a longer dash to axle ratio than the new AMG SL, and not pushing the engine further back in the chassis, and thus it’s not a true front mid engine like the outgoing model. Also, they should have updated the engines. How hard is it to get more power out of a twin turbo V8?

I’d go 911 Turbo S over AMG GT63 for sure.

The complexity of Mercedes is huge negative. They are slowly sliding down the quality ratings due to tons of little things that are always breaking or malfunctioning. Add to that the ridiculous maintenance schedule, extortionate service pricing and dealership service experience and I'm never going back to the 3 pointed star.
I considered a 2024AMG SL55 but the lack of dealers near me and the dealership experience killed it for me.
German engineering - using 5 parts and sensors when 2 will do.
