The old C63s with the NA 6.2 V8 are going way up in value.
They should have used the new inline 6 and put in cylinder deactivation.

4cyl C63 is blasphemy.

Oh yeah, that's a real 63 sound! Got some nice chills going from listening to that!

I can understand not caring about engine noise if you never owned a good one but if you ever have it's like living life without your sense of hearing or smell, the car is just missing a point of interaction and emotion.

and yes without a great sound you're just not stimulating all the senses in the same way
