It sounds like a lion when it starts up. Beastly, but not my thing.

And just recently I had a chance to drive regular CL600. Violently fast, but so refined, you simply cannot hear the engine at all when cruising. Even at full throttle you only start hearing the engine near redline, and even then there isn't much to hear.

Just absolutely different setup and purpose between AMG and non-AMG cars.
To add to your comments, the 6.2 doesn't have much modding potential because it's naturally aspirated. The 5.5 is better because you can change the pulley to increase boost plus you can add headers, throttle body, and tune. The TTV12s only need a tune to get an insane amount of horsepower without much else, that's why people like the TTV12. It is truly a stealthy monster even when stock.

There are a lot of Harley Hogs out there that make more noise than that.

it's in the refinement. the v12 twin turbo is insanely smooth and it gets you to 130 without breaking a sweat. the 63 engine you will have to push it harder. very different setup.

to certain extend you can think of it as gs350 vs gs460 from 60-120
