Guys, it's actually 'ok' to like other cars.... If you are a car enthusiast, you can appreciate other vehicles without putting them down or feeling your car is somewhat inferior. Mercedes AMG made a great car, no doubt. It is much more expensive than the F-Type and performs better, as it should. There shouldn't be any surprise there.

I think the F-Type is a seamless work of art, while the AMG looks like it was designed by a committee.

I agree with you. IMO, the F-Type is better looking but the Merc is the performer. The thing is, I don't track often but I may start when I get the AMG. Don't get me wrong though, I'm happy with my R.

I haven't driven the gts, but I have a hard time believing them when they say there is no turbo lag. It seems to me that every time a new car comes out, they say "this car is the first car that has no turbo lag". Also, there is no way the gts looks better than the f type. Subjectively, sure, someone may like the amg more and that's cool. But there's no way someone can analyze the exterior design then say the gts looks better.
Now that my rant is over, I think the gts is pretty cool too. I wish more people in the silicon valley spent their money on cool cars so we could see them in the street.
Honestly though, the f type's weight ensured it had no chance of winning the head2head.

I find it hard to say which one looks better. They're both brilliantly beautiful machines. I like the lower roof height of the Merc, the rear lines of the F, sound of the F, I could go on and on... Rather than stooping to the level of some other forums that bash anything other than what they own, why don't we all appreciate these two beasts as the modern automotive marvels that they are.

I wasn't expecting it to beat the AMG on the track, but on the street it seems like a very close heat.
I was really impressed by the 3.3 second 0-60 time they wrung out of the R. That has to be one of the best I have seen to date.

Track battle the AMG GTS is miles ahead, although I think tires might have made the results much more skewed (read that the AMG was running the grippy michelins). No surprised here, the F-Type is no track monster.
Looks...I think they actually had it right...the F-Type is classically beautiful, whereas the AMG looks more "exotic", i.e., different....so it depends on if you are going to classic beautiful design or something a little more unorthodox.
I don't think these head 2 head ever factor in price...that's for consumers to decide...

I just get frustrated when they compare 2 cars in a head-to-head like this that are in completely different price brackets. An SL550 would have been a more realistic comparison- $108k base price compared to the $106k of the F

+1 I think the F-Type looks incredible. The first time I saw an S2000 I said that I will own that car. When I saw a TV ad for an F-Type I said the same thing. It's just beautiful. I do agree with his comment about the side sills though. The AMG doesn't look good to me. It's not terrible, but it doesn't stir the passion within.
