Nice car, but didn't they do a better spec engine than this one has?

I would not bother with a 5.0.

5.7's are so much cooler. I believe they have a vented carbon fibre bonnet.

Your right, they are way cooler but there was hardly any 5.7's made though. And since the alpina site has changed you can't see how many were made. Their old site showed how many were made of each model.
