timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y 1m 21d Gender: Male Posted 23/08/13 01:09 AM Share Posted 23/08/13 01:09 AM The GTS did very well against the AMG however didn't it quite match it on the drag strip.Strange that a turbo charged engine sounded better than the supercharged one?The GTRspec would probably be close to the GTS's 1/4 mile considering it has 95kw and 170 Nm less than the GTS.I liked the David Morley review because he pointed out the interior of the GTS as being so-so;exactly what I was thinking when the VF came out.The interior may be better than the Falcon's but it looks just as cheap and the function buttons layout design seems sporadic.Those GTS trade mark gauges are difficult to see and could take the driver's eyes of the road while he/she tries to discern the readings.On the track the GTS would most probably whoop the GT Rspec;in a straight line,probably not that much in it with the GTS edging away.The AMG doesn't came away unscathed.I have never been a fan of Mercedes Benz but the side profile and the giant grille just look awkward to me .The rear looks like it belongs to another car however,the front does look great and of course the interior is top notch..
