Some cars you buy for looks, some for comfort, and some you buy not because you will ever know their true capabilities but for the bragging rights to what it "could do." Of course bragging rights can come in several forms, top-speed, 0-60, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! So which car would you choose just to be the baddest in the land? Would you choose something from the factory, or would you have the tuners do their work?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

For me the answer is simple. I'd pick the E63 AMG S 4matic wagon, RS6 Avant not available in the US :(. I could brag that I can carry my family in comfort, not attract the unwanted attention of the 5.0, but still have the goods to run with the best of them.

To go completely meta:

My car.

Doesn't matter what it is, or how fast, or how good or bad.

It's mine, and you can't have it.

Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.....

Becoming Jag CEO is your only hope of getting one, and maybe not even then if the BOD/Chairman doesn't like the idea of you being able to get one when they can't.

It's the fastest
It's the most powerful
It's the most expensive

I don't think an owner has ever driven it faster than Beverly Hills traffic speed, though. Those that can afford it only use it to brag. Granted, there's a lot to brag about, but I think they should drive it the way it was meant to be driven.

As a pirate would say, Gee Tee Arrrrrr. If you want to one-up pretty much anyone with stats, it's about as good as it gets.

If you've got one of these things you're basically the king of every parking lot you pull into. Even in places like Monaco and Dubai you're the top dog.

Bugatti owner to his friends at the bar:
"My car has 2 W8 engines, 16 cylinders, 4 turbochargers, 10 radiators, 1000 horsepower, and a top speed of 253 mph. You're argument is invalid."
