Yeah, there is indeed no replacement for displacement (although I have found that adding nitrous and / or a blower can come close...).

Personally I'd opt for the Phantom.

40 years ago would've been the Viper....

I'm quite partial to a Viper, but yes the Rolls Royce or the Lambo would be my pick if I had that kind of $$$ lieing around

Plopping one of those LS7 camaro engines into a sportwagon would be pretty cool. Of course, HSV already do a supercharged 6.2 sportwagon, so you'd have to put a blower on the 7L....

If it came with the camper I'd be all over the F-Series :innocent:

Otherwise Viper, Viper, and then probably the Viper, all in that order.

Back in 98' when Holden released Suburban I thought that was ridiculous with turbocharged 6.5 litre diesel engine.

holden did a limited model (or brockys, or hrt, or someone) lsx camaro at 7.2lt, supercharged. And turboed. W472 i think they called it.

That said, the vanquishes 6lt v12 sounds fucking horny.
