      Internet spying is not the overarching issue of today, though it is important. The main issue is internet censorship. TH-cam is a globalist company that needs China market, so they erase anti-CCP remarks and silence conservatives who see the evil of China. They chant Russia Russia Russia but in reality, China is the biggest threat to the world today and it is obvious. I wish there was a tool that could report TH-cam censorship and it actually worked.

      This is one of the most idiot claims I've ever heard. Nobody here in Europe "underrates" an AMG GT vehicle... No matter if it's a GT S, GT C or GT R. These cars are amazing sport and super sports cars. As fast as quick as Porsche 911 models.
      You really have no fucking clue about this sports car, dude! The AMG is one of the best sports cars of our era!
      Just inform yourself about all the AMG GT3 racing successes over the last seven years, which speak for themselves.
      Aston Martin models aren't competition at all for all these AMG GTs! Aston Martin are just like rip off vehicles, which got the same engine, but only in a wet sump version but not in dry sump, like the AMG GT C and GT R.
      Aston Martin cars are just for wannabes, whereas the AMG GT R versions are for true sports car drivers.

    matt, i hope you see this because its the second time i answer your question about the sound, its the waste gate on the small turbos, as soon as it opens upwards of 3000 rpms under load you start getting infiltered exhaust, carrying the authentic sound of the V8

      @@ssllhh100 they open slightly once boost is reached, but are still closed to an extant to maintain boost. yes I have an n54 and my wastegates are permanently stuck open at the moment lol .
      the N55 started with pneumatic waste gates like n54 then moved to electronic. Same with pretty much all engines. The S55 is NOT twin scroll because it has twin turbos, and a wastegate on each like the n54 (but electronic) . N55 and B58 are twin scroll singles
      if these cars didn't have wastegates the turbos would be overboosting the crap out of the engines ALL the time

    AMG really hit it out the park with the GT Series, especially the GTC and GTR, Beautiful cars, yet sound evil and have that nature too them yet drive it, and they'd handle like a Porsche. Simply amazing - Shame the new 2024 one is bloated, bigger and not as sharp as these were. GTR is such a steal at 100K

    Matt is movinn. 😳😂 And I know if it looks fast on camera, it's even faster in person. 😳 I'm usually not the biggest fan of Mercedes. But this car I've always loved. Looks sweet! I'm more into slightly smaller sports cars, with a manual trans. So I would be a fan of the older C63 AMG or CLK63 AMG Black Series if those came with a manual. And therefore for the most part, I've always been a Bmw fan with manual M3's and such. However, if we going up in sizee. I wouldn't mind this big beast here with the dual clutch goin to workk. 😌 Definitely a different boss status driving style.

  • @c4li
    @c4li 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The amg 4.0 is a weapon. And the gearbox is surprisingly good as well. Can be a bit jerky around town but once you got it figured out its alright - and almost pdk levels when going fast. I do miss the deeper sound of the 5.5 though. That turbo spool on a coldstart.... can't beat it. Gearbox was pretty crap though.
