      @@Fasty2107 Personally I love the way the LC500 looks and sounds. However, it's quite subjective, you gotta get seat time in both really. Also when you go to view them, don't view them standing up, crouch down or sit on a chair to get a proper perspective.

      @@jordanbuttkevitz6895 Don't feel bad about renting. After being a homeowner for five years, I plan to sell my house and go back to renting next year. If you don't have a family, you don't need a house. Houses trap you into debt with a mortgage, and turn you into a mindless consumer. You will be spending too much of your $$$$ on house stuff, like a lawn equipment and supplies, repairs, home insurance, property taxes, and too many other things. I miss being a renter, and I miss all the money I've blown on housing expenses. In my Midwestern city, there are a few apartment complexes set up like ranch-style condos, with two car garages, so I plan to move into one of those. Don't know if you can find something similar in California.

    • @Porsche1969
      @Porsche1969 4 роки тому +4

      "This overpriced piece" is the roadster version of a "not so cheap" premium sports car, but not a stupid plastic bullshit vehicle!
      Of course it's an expensive vehicle, because it's a Mercedes-AMG Roadster, which is way more expensive than just the coupe version!
      For example, just compare it with some Aston Martin convertible versions, and you will see a dramatically higher price for these British cars, which have the price of "two houses", but not only one house. And the build quality of these Brits is not as good as the AMG... At least they have a German engine too...;-)
      What did you expect? A price like a Corvette C8 for a 100% AMG "piece" of German build quality and technology??? You can't have hese things for a stupidly low Corvette price... you annoying clown!!

      @@MrCarGuy Not so much as you would think. Hey, how about that: for example the new Aston Martin Vantage Roadster costs much more than the AMG GT C Roadster, but isn't nearly as powerful, cool looking or solidly built as the AMG. The GT C Roadster is a way more competent and better built open sports car. You should compare this AMG with similar competitor sports cars, but not only look at its price.
      Why is this Aston Martin much more expensive than a much better sports car rival from AMG??? Which by the way has the "original" 4 liter V8 biturbo engine. If I can choose, I decide for the original, but not the "copy" from Aston Martin, which has just a customer engine from AMG.

    I agree 100% with your thoughts about this car. It is an amazing car. I didn’t drive the 600 HP version you all drove. I drove the regular AMG GT and that was amazing as well. The way power comes on and stays on is unlike any other car. It’s too fast for American roads and the only way to get the most of that car is too use it on track. Which as the salesman told me when I drove it. Glad you all got to enjoy it for a little while and I hope that DCT issue isn’t common.

      Apparently looks are only "personal" when your car of choice looks like an overgrown clownshoe and sounds like an asthmatic air conditioner. Plus I can guarantee the LC will last the next 30 years with timely and minimal maintenance. Good luck actually keeping a Merc running lol you could buy a whole another GTC by the time it depreciates to half it's price for the cost of maintenance.

    What's crazy to me, as someone with no experience in either car, a C8 Corvette seems like it's worth more than this car at less than half the price. I just can't see buying this at the mentioned price tag for essentially the engine and transmission. I know the suspension is amazing too, but for the money it has to be. Obviously I'm not the target audience, but Porsche does seem like the better option if you are going to spend that much. Awesome review as always though!

    The GTC/GTR is the best sports car today, for the money. It’s leagues more engaging than a 992! The GTR was preferred by many vs the 991.2 GT3. The transmission is basically bullet proof - it’s a Getrag, used by Ferrari.
