Hot take: the original AMG GT was the first standalone car Mercedes (and AMG) ever made that could properly turn. The 190E Evo was a homologation car, the 500E was built in cooperation with Porsche, the SLR McLaren was in cooperation with... you guessed it. And the C63 AMG Black Series was an almost 200k car that was slightly faster than the M3 GTS. So yeah, the AMG GT changed that world view in a sense.

I like how Mercedes is giving Porsche a run for their money, cuz 911s have been good, but really expensive. You always get the feeling Porsche is leaving things off the table and not giving the best of what they have, yet asking for a lot of money.
That being said, lets hope this AMG GT isn't going to be another tire munching joke. People use Porsches for track day cuz they really work all day... not just a few laps.
