Regardless of the 11th place finish, MT was still pretty positive about the GTS.

Not all praises, I don't think they really disliked the car. But they had some negatives things to say about it.

"The exhaust sounds like a flatulent kazoo in a bathtub."

“Good thing this car looks so good,” Evans, one of our many in-house teenage boys at heart, said. “Otherwise I’d really be mad.” Mad. Hmm.

Cammisa elaborated: “Get in it, and you’ll be reminded of that 75-year-old former athlete. You can tell he’s still got the moves, still has that grace and strength that he’ll never lose, and yet he can’t keep up with the kids anymore. This is modern BMW.”

We were frustrated. Indignation was especially directed toward the electronic driver’s assists. “Stability control is ultra conservative,” Lago said. “It is not tuned for this power and capability. Even in M Dynamic mode, the stability control light blinks incessantly the entire way up the hill. This stability control pales in comparison to what you can get from Porsche and GM.

Electronics aside, Loh couldn’t stay engaged. “I was bored halfway up the hill,” he said. “I was bored 10 minutes into driving it on the street. Despite the rollcage and little bits of M/GTS trim, it doesn’t feel all that special.”

Says a lot when a manual SS that's less powerful and heavier than BMWs prime example of what they are capable of is only 0.11s off the GTS. Chevy isn't even done yet with the Z28 and other examples coming in the next year or two. The SS isn't even stripped of handle bars and back seats and has no massive rear wing.

Someone said a car that's all over schools parking lots is just as good (actually better according to MT) as BMWs 136k GTS

Ferrari took some lessons from Chevy, time for BMW to do the same.

That yellow AMG though
