I've only driven the 1st/2nd gen cars not this one. The interiors are just otherworldly nice and the smoothness is excellent but as you said driving enjoyment/sharpness is not like my current car, the new gen is supposed to cure that but I'm just scared the PDK can't do smooth well when you aren't on it.

It's difficult, my current car is so good I don't feel much pull toward anything else and k do not want to give up how it drives when I ask it to. The 2nd gen Bentley FS I know for a fact doesn't drive as well and noise/smoothness is comparable when under 150mph, the main edge is the fact the interior doesn't know what plastic is and smells so wonderful. The newest gen has an even better interior and the exterior looks are one of my absolute favorites but the drive may be disappointing.

I also don't what to lull myself into "settling" so I don't get complacent, but I'm finding that I'm content where I am for now. It also don't help that some people I know who have had my car and this say that the Audi drives better, hard to argue with some of these guys since they have EVERYTHING and have no reason to lie.

Literal red car syndrome. We talked about thunderbirds and we are behind one now lol!

My late father had a '65 with the same drivetrain and interior. I got to drive it for quite a few miles, both in long trips and locally.

Still haven’t reached my break-in miles(less than half), took this pic today, tend to forget to lock the door before taking pictures with this car lol …….

Infrared is the best red color I have seen out there. Unfortunately I feel pictures don’t do that color justice compared to what it looks like in person. Congrats on the car.

Toys4RJill

crazy how that works. Some believe red car syndrome isn’t true

slight name typo there.

gojirra99... car looks wonderful. hope you're enjoying it as least as much as i am!

also, we need a thread comparing your mb gt with the lc!

Gojirra99

Thanks, I agree pics don’t do it justice, it looks even more awesome on the car in person, it can look slightly different depending on the lighting too, so far I think it’s best on a bright clear day under the sun around noon

Gojirra99

Thanks, very happy with my colour combination choice, the toasted caramel interior gives you a warm and luxurious feel too, but I don’t think you can be that jealous when you are pondering whether your next new car will be a S580/e or an i7

Gojirra99

Thank you, I will be happy when I have broken in the car, and drive it in S+ and rev it up to hear that soulful NA V8 engine growl

Gojirra99

Thank you
After break-in period I can comment more, but they are obviously quite different, the AMG GT S is more hard core and the LC500 a grand tourer, it’s already clear the LC is more comfortable in ride quality and spacious inside the cabin, but the hatch back of the AMG makes it a more usable rear storage area. The LC won’t be as quick and you have to rev it up for it to come alive, the AMG will be more responsive with more immediate low end torque, and I think it sounds really good for a V8 turbo.

Gojirra, the LC is outstanding. Congratulations!
