the doors on the koenigsegg kick ass
the engine is a wild and untaimed beast in the k-segg, whereas, i would not be suprized to find out the zonda has ESP built into the engine manegment computer. the merc v12 doesnt have a wild howl, it doesnt have an operatic voice.... in any clip ive ever heard it... its a mindless drone
and finally, if i was to buy one of these supercars, why would i care so much about daily drivability... if i can afford one, i cirtainly other car options that are designed for compfort, rather then a compromise.

Zonda mindless drone!?!? First time i've heard that!
Watch the video in that thread that sentra_dude posted. It sounds glorious!

Zonda, no questions asked. They have had reliability problems with the Koenigsegg, but as Tiff said in the review of the Zonda, they drove one for over a month, averaged 20mpg, ran it hard, and it had absolutly no problems. Zonda for me

yes, ive heard the sound.... and sure... its better then say... an inline-6 any day.
and compared with a ferrari v12, or even the undepowered jaguar v12 in the old xj's sounds less mundane.
so, in that sence, it is a mindless drone ish sound. and i stand by what i said ... no opera singer, and no wild beast... those are the sounds i love in supercars
of course, IMO

fair enough, thats your opinion.
Personally i'd definately rate it in the top 5, or maybe even top 3 best sounding engines along with the porsche CGT, ferrari 360/355 and the aston V12 (db9, db7, vanquish). I think the enzo's V12 is blander than the zondas...
