Yeah it's nice. Might be my next move by the time next generation of M6 comes out.

2007 to 2016 M6 Cab · 11-02-2015, 10:17 PM

It is a nice car ... CRAZY STOCK EXHAUST NOTE

No back seats .. no kids ... thus can not justify it yet

Twitch Massacre · 11-02-2015, 11:02 PM

Awesome car would definitely cross shop with M6. The M6 leans more towards a lux GT car, the GTS more towards track performance.

dentaltech · 11-03-2015, 04:45 PM

I want to drive it, I know the car will preform, the seats are a bit snug compared to my M but the cock pit is so damn sexy. From the videos I heard the road noise i nthe cabin is pretty harsh and this is something that I think the M is bad on too especially on certain surfaces.

The exhaust is so sexy as well, they are selling at MSRP and above so I have some time to wait. Sad thing is my 2013 M6 has depreciated so much in the 3 years I have had it but it still looks brand new. I will probably lease the next 150k plus car instead of paying cash.

AMG GTS has even worth depreciation. I believe for a 150k one your monthly payment must be 2500+ since the residual value is about (or less than) 50%...

I have both! They are completely different cars!

Oh good to have you here... do you really think you will miss M6 if you let her go while you have AMG GTS?

Well it's months I am thinking about this move since AMG GTS is the only sport car is being made currently with MB emblem

dentaltech · 11-04-2015, 10:56 AM

I cant stop thinking about this car since I went and looked at it, think I am going to order one this week

MJones3 · 11-04-2015, 12:52 PM

I've heard from several people that the ride is quite bad in the Merc, so much so that it made them not like the car overall. Has anyone here driven one who could give their opinion?

I've driven the AMG GTS and it was a completely different animal than my 650. Can't compare it to an M6 since I've never driven the M6 (its on my list of to do's).

The GTS seemed like an angry school bully that's ready to beat the SH#T out of someone. It had RAW power and the exhaust note was intoxicating.

Well 50 more power and about 600lb lighter (than 650) + DCT is what you correctly felt as a completely different animal, but having M DCT and 100+ more power and sport suspension must be different story...
I remember the first time I test drove the M6 I felt it's a different animal (and it is) compare to 650...
I think it's time for me to test drive AMG GTS this weekend

deemo319 · 11-06-2015, 06:15 PM

Hmmmm, a GTS?

The sound? Very much so! The looks, not so much.

However, there is something to be done about that.

Gentlemen, meet the wide one.............

They are completely different cars. I will miss the M6 when it goes as it actually has more of a visceral power delivery for me. Both cars are not stock. They are fully tuned with suspension, exhaust and rims.

The one thing that I would say is this about the comparison. The long range drivability (100 miles or so) hands down goes to the M6. The ergonomics of the GTS are such that not all drivers and or passengers will fit comfortably in the seats, something to consider if this is going to be your daily driver. Remember this is a two seater with limited angular adjustment to the seating positions. With that being said, I have a full 3 inch custom exhaust with catless downpipes, and that is absolutely heavenly.

Do you have any pictures of them side by side?
I think I understand what you are referring to by "Visceral power delivery"...
I love the power delivery of M6 even when it's stock.
