What to cross shop with C8 Z06?

One of the very few cars in my opinion that sound better than the hellcat. I heard one go the opposite direction ripping it through an underpass. The sound was this sweet superbike like noise. Apparently they are stupid quick too. 0-100 mph in a capable 5.8 seconds.. just a nudge quicker than the old 2019 ZR1 which could do it in around 6 seconds stock

If you just want the sweet sound without the speed, just buy an old V12 S-Class and have a dude in Japan make you some headers and full exhaust. Even though the exhaust work is obscenely expensive you'll still be hundreds of thousands ahead

Yep. Think of the benefits. Besides the cost savings vs the 812, in a tank like that you can drive at full throttle everywhere to enjoy the noise and barely break the speed limit! I found an S600 semi-local for $5k. What could possibly go wrong with a 20 year old, super complex Merc with high mileage? Lol

That model S, when it came out' was criticized in the automotive press for being too well built. Something that floored me.

They are both sweet sounding and do it with two different approaches, but are in a class of their own. I must admit that V12 Ferrari is a masterpiece of engineering, twin cammer with variable intake runners, naturally aspirate, Wow.
makes me wonder what a new gen Viper would be like if they adopted a bit of that engineering with out the Ferrari price tag. The 812 Superfast looks a like a C7 and Viper cross. Look close at the styling of it. I think it will become evident. .02 of course.

I picked up my 2018 base M5 with 6800 miles for 78 grand. the base models dyno 630-640 to the wheel, AWD to boot. i spent $600 on a piggy back tuner that tricks the turbo pressure sensors for another 100 plus hp. granted is a little plain jane looking compared to a widebody hellcat charger but I doubt you will find a widebody hellcat charger new or slightly used for under 80 grand

So 700 whp AWD in the end?
