Insane Rev Battle Between Raucous C63 AMG and a Z06

It's an epic battle between two very different V8 powerhouses.

Z06 hands down, smooth mellifluous roar. C63 exhaust sounds restricted.

No way.. The C63 is a ROAR and you can tell its modified.. The Z06 sounds slightly better than a Chevy Volt. Ok just kidding, but seriously it's nowhere near the same decibels.

Z06 without doubt. Sounds like Usain Bolt trash talking on the blocks; you know something impressive is about to go down!

C63 just sounds like the drunk guy at the bar - loud and arrogant.

No question in my mind -- the Z06 clearly sounds much better.

Love the sound of the 6.2 AMG exhaust but this one sounds a little "too raw and edgy". The small block Vette, as always, sounds great.
I would like to hear a stock C63 vs. Corvette!

The C63 is louder...but the Z06 is classy.
My vote goes to the vette.

Prefer the sound of a stock C63. Less obnoxious in my opinion. Of the modified C63 and Corvette I too prefer the Corvette.

Having a quieter (relatively speaking) makes me cringe when I take my Subaru WRX STi (headers, downpipe, midpipe, CBE) or my RX-7 (full 3 inch exhaust) out for a drive as they are obnoxiously loud. To the point where I have put less than 1000 miles on them combined last year. They are both ridiculously fast (faster than the C63) and more work to drive (no traction control, stability control etc) but I must be getting old or not out to the track enough.

Unless race car, in which case make it as loud as allowed.
