AMG GTR Pro to GT500

[L8APEX]

Don't downgrade from a GTR Pro to a GT500. Your Mercedes is superior in every possible way.

I think he just wants to try something new.

Thanks man. I appreciate the reply.

I love the GTR Pro and I will be keeping it. Originally thought about moving it but its got high KM (19,000) and its worth keeping for a few years still.

Just going to add the GT500. I've enjoyed mustangs since I was 16. First car was an '88 5.0L and I've had multiple since including a '66 I built (although did it poorly). The GT500 is a nod to generations past imo and a fantastic price for what you get.

Yes Sir!

Given the production shutdown is that build date still reasonable? And as for delivery dates once its built that's anyone's guess. Ford's scheduling for delivery of manufactured vehicles seems to be a roll of the dice.

Great question. I doubt it. The raptor will be going in at the end of the monthon trade. No idea when the car will show up...

Confirmed the colour change today and we have a new build date of June 11th. No idea what to think regarding a delivery date but will post photos should it decide to show up one day.

I spoke with the owner of the dealership yesterday, my order is in and confirmed but still waiting on a VIN. Was hoping to be able to take to Pebble Beach but it's not looking positive right now.

I think just because your Merc looks like a "shoe" , you should ditch it and get the GT500.

Beautiful Pro ! I went from a heavily modded 350R to the Pro and can say the AMG chassis is much much better . Despite the power delta on paper on similar tires the pro is a faster track car and actually pretty similar in a straight line stock. low 7 seconds 60-130 with mid 6 seconds with just a tune. Not knocking the 500 but you are talking about a near 500 pound weight increase and much less aero grip. The VIR lightning lap time for the regular GTR is till faster than the 500 CFTP. I do want more power than just the tuned 630 so i'm upgrading mine with the Renntech R3 turbo package lol . The CFTP 500 can lay down a very fast lap but the weight will be a huge tire use issue. I was going through Cup2 tires in one day on the 350R at Roebling and it was 3750. Here is one of my quicker laps on the regular cup 2's at Roebling before the power upgrade .

Nice. Best I could do last fall at Roebling in my GT500 was 155 and I see you were 160+. That thing has damn good brakes!

Does your track have sound limits? many do
I understand 2020 GT500 is really loud, can't run at Laguna Seca
