Old man pretty shocked inside 650HP car racing at Nürburgring track
This Mercedes-AMG GT S proves that mileage and age do not stop a well-built performance car from feeling serious on the Nürburgring. With over 104,000 km on the odometer and nearly a decade of use behind it, the car still delivers around 650 HP from its upgraded 4.0L biturbo V8, supported by replacement turbos, a custom remap, Bridgestone Potenza Race tires, and strong Paragon discs with Endless pads. The power and braking performance make it a fast and exciting track machine, but the aftermarket K-Sport suspension becomes the biggest weakness. Its soft setup causes bouncing under acceleration and nervous movement in faster sections, making the car feel less stable than it should at the limit. Even with traffic and handling concerns, the AMG GT S shows impressive durability, speed, and character, while also proving how important a properly tuned suspension setup is for turning power into real confidence on track.

Tuned Cayman GTS Challenges Factory Race Car In Nürburgring Track
This Porsche Cayman GTS becomes a serious “GT4 Light” after a long list of track-focused upgrades transforms its braking, handling, and engine response. With Endless MX72 pads, a GT3 master cylinder, Öhlins Road & Track coilovers, GT3 control arms, polyurethane bushings, bump steer adjustments, a full exhaust, ECU tune, and around 380 HP on 100-octane fuel, the car feels much sharper than a standard GTS. On the Nürburgring, it shows strong braking feel, lively engine character, and impressive cornering potential, although the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires and softer suspension setup limit its ultimate pace. The biggest missing piece is aerodynamic confidence at high speed, where a larger rear wing and front splitter could bring it closer to GT4 stability. The result is an exciting Cayman build that may offer a more emotional driving experience than a factory GT4, especially with shorter gearing feel, stronger response, and a setup that still has room to improve.
