  • Holy crap this car’s powerful! Loud, loud and powerful! 700+ Bhp and tons of torque. Porsche Turbo owners, watch out! My friend Mario recently sold his Porsche 911 991.1 C2S and picked up this mint condition AMG GTS Edition 1... one of only 70 sold in the US! You MUST check this out... Let's do it!
    As ever, thanks so much for watching my videos and supporting my channel. Keep the comments and chat coming! More videos coming soon. Cheers!

    Yes, this is the Mercedes equivalent to the 911 Turbo S. I would love the convertible version, parked beside my 997.2 Turbo Coupe. This is an amazing machine! Thanks for bringing this to us objectively.

    As cool as it is it’s just obnoxious. My Turbo S with a Tubi exhaust is loud enough but does not upset my neighbors or the HOA.

      The good thing is that every time i start it the valves are closed and i can open them whenever i want :). So if want it quit , just drive in comfort and will be super quiet

    Hope Mario falls in love with this one for the long haul. I went from an Audi RS7, to a Tesla Model 3 Performance to a Carrera 4s and then fell in love with a 991 TT (all within 18 months). Got demolished on trade in for Tesla. It was a costly lesson, but I get it. Very unique car. Only have seen one in person. Enjoy!

  • @no65mph
    @no65mph 4 года назад

    I hate to say it but if your car just has a tune, it’s no we’re near 700hp. I have the same stage 2 custom tune from eurocharger on my GTS and its around 640-660hp. You need to change out the down pipe and turbos to get to 700hp.

    • @mariomontanez78
      @mariomontanez78 4 года назад

      Its around 640-660hp? Have u put your car on the dyno? On paper the car said it came with 503hp but it only pushed 476whp on the tires. So basically gained 113hp with just tune and downpipes. 725hp to engine

  • @carterschinkel85
    @carterschinkel85 4 года назад +2

    I'm curious on the estimated 0-60 time after the tune & downpipe mods?

    • @mariomontanez78
      @mariomontanez78 4 года назад +2

      Me 2 lol. Theres a feature in the car that tells u 0-60 , 0-100, etc, unfortunately right now here in Minnesota is in the lower 30F and cant do 0-60 runs yet since i have summer tires. But we will take it out this summer and try it :)
