I've owned 3 AMG cars and think is poorly conceived article. At least wait and test the two vehicles to provide an actual comparison and place numbers to the comparo for validity rather than conjecture and opinion. almost doesn't bear mentioning the "slight" difference in price and target market that invalidate the premise and readability of this article from the outset. of course a six figure track car will out perform a 65k muscle car on the track.
better question is will it sell? will the annoyingly and slavishly brand loyal Porsche twits try one out in stead of the 993s and gt3 cup cars et al? can you pry those robots from their professor Porsche cars?will it match the performance of the Carrera for the price? will Mercedes have a race program for it? will it grace the 24 hrs du lemans? if the Audi r8 is priced at 195k, and the porsche turbo at 220k is the price point of this amggt in a better spot to lure club racers or exotics purchasers away from these offerings? and why can't Porsche put a v8 in that Carrera? gosh old tradition and euro emission nazis must be two sucky things to have to bear the yoke of when developing a power train.
