Autocar had a chance here to do an excellent comparison. EVO just the other day compared the AMG GT S to the Porsche 911 Turbo. This network pointed out that the AMG GT S is positioned more against the 911 models below the turbo such as the GTS Autocar uses.

On paper, it makes sense. The 911 GTS costs $115,195. The AMG GTS S costs $129,900. It is clearly positioned against the 911 'S' models and the standard AMG GT will go against the standard Carrera.

With its twin turbo 503 horsepower V8 the AMG GT blows the GTS with its 430 horsepower naturally aspirated 3.8 liter flat-6 out of the water. Just how badly does it blow it away? Well, Autocar had the opportunity to show us with a drag race in the opening frames of the video having the cars set up for it but instead cuts away and does not focus on it. Pardon the pun but they blew it. One has to wonder why they even bothered to line the cars up in the first place.

Instead the video focuses on the vehicles on the track. Wonderful, right? Well, not really as there is no laptime comparison. Just like the drag race in the opening Autocar blows it on the track by providing no performance testing data. EVO actually provided laptimes in addition to the typical endless British babbling about the subjective.

This 'Head to Head' has no actual head to head competition between the cars in it. Every opportunity to provide it is missed. It's just plain garbage.
