Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread...


Something I've noticed; A lot of the folks that love audio also love cars...I simply think it's an enthusiast gene...anyone care to share their thoughts? I have a Paradigm setup....and an M3.

I have found this hobby goes hand and hand with High Performance cars and motorcycles. I have a Cary and Sonus Faber set up in my basement listening room with my precious 2002 Audi S4 in the garage.

Tweaks/ Performance Tuning on my S4 include:
Full SuperSprint Stainless Steel Race System Exhaust.
Stratmosphere Diverter-Valves
Custom Mapped AutoThority Performance Software (1Bar Boost)
K&N Filter in OEM Airbox

The Result: 320 Horsepower with 358ft Pounds of Torque put to the ground through Audi's Quattro Platform!

The car is a pure joy to drive and pulls like a freight train to triple digit speeds with ease..

Best,

Chris
Matti,

Yes, I am eyeing the RS4 myself. I have really enjoyed my S4 and love shocking unsuspecting boy racers as I pull away with ease. The car is really a sleeper if you are not familiar with the potential the car offers.

Slappy,

Mustangs are great fun! I had a 93 LX with H-Pipes, suspension, 355 gears, and a Flowmaster Exhaust System. That car just sounded mean! I loved that car but I drove it a little too hard for its liking.
We then parted ways and I have been a german car junky ever since. I think everyone should own a muscle car at some point. Keep that warranty my friend. They come in handy..

Best,

Chris
The E46 M3 is one of the closest things to a street legal race car as it gets besides the new Corvette. The M3 sure has come along way since the E30 chassis and the E36. When I went to Skip Barber DS they were still using E30 instruction vehicles and those cars sure would take a beating.

Anyway, Viggens were cool for a SAAB but are definately not a match for most M cars even on a good day with a strong wind behind it..

(Disclaimer: Road Racing is fun!)

Matti,

I'm your huckleberry...

All in good fun!
