You should listen to the C63 AMG, I think that and the G55K AMG are the loudest stock cars to be produced by AMG following the CLK63 BS AMG and the CLK DTM AMG coupe and cabriolet.

Yea, (insert swear words here )

I was at a dealership and a C63 AMG owner pulled up, let's just say it was loud and he wasn't even over-revving it, just normal driving. Quite a note... It's still like an oversized bus though.

I wonder how the SL65 AMG sounds?

Slightly muted compared to the SL55.

It just needs a seat of headers for the C63 to sound even impressive, removing the resonator makes it sound raspy by judging a video which an mbworld member posted.

Ditto it build to a V12 wail that makes a noise similar to the sound your spine would make if you could hear it tingle.

We know that an SL with the V-12 is in our future but not for the sound I'm just got a bug that I want one before my age prohibits me. Have heard both 63 and 65 AMGs and they both have a distinct sound the 12 seems to purr more than rumble.
The resonators that stay in the garage have made the Cruzer a little louder we can't hear them unless in a tunnel but friends that we have passed in the over 100 mph say that it is a muted rolling thunder sound.
The V-12 will have to be CPO car and is still 4 years down the road.
Think I got off topic.
