F Type SVR convertible vs AMG GT-C convertible

Agreed. Love my V-8 R vert. Got it for a bargain in 18 as a brand new 17. I'll give up 25 hp of the SVR & save some serious $. GT-C pricing was way too much...

There, I vented. I'll crawl back in my hole now. To each his own.

I agree the tranny on SLK55 was a weak spot and I thought LSD was as well.We have a '17 Ghibli with no problems, and our early '14 had typical new model stuff, stranger than usual because you know Italy. I don't know where AMG GT C verts are dropping, searched last night and $140k seems typical asking for used '18.

Coming from an owner of both brands and trim levels.
Jag SVR, hands down IMO. Looks better, sounds better, faster in a straight line and has way more personality! AMG if you're looking for fastest lap time and better fit and finish, but by know means is the SVR terrible.
Look at how close this "subjective" review is here...AND THIS IS AGAINST THE "R". Clearly he enjoys driving the F-Type more....just listen to his reaction. At the end of the day, isn't that what its all about?
AND..The SVR, being lighter, quicker, nicer interior...just better in every way then the R, most likely would be chosen.

In terms of interior fit and finish, while the SVR is very, very nice, I don't know how anyone could compare it to the AMG GT's interior.
The first thing that stands out is the touchscreen. It looks like a complete after thought, as if someone said "Well, let's just use some velcro and stick an iPad on the dash.

Nobody said "completely different", however, the enhancements do make it better. Love the R as well, almost bought it, and probably would over the AMG...but if you're pushing it it as hard as I do, the SVR is without a doubt my choice.

I hate the word "infotainment." It's for millenials who can't stand driving so instead of a car they want a big stupid phone to feed their ADD.
