which car is sitting in your listening room?



Hello all!

given the expense competent, high value, upper range performing, top flight, and no holds barred SOTA audio systems costs  lately, which car in terms of your ssystems  overall retail price  is waiting for you to rev its engine the next time you fire it up in your listening room?


Ford Escort, Toyota Corolla, Chrysler Mini Van, Camaro Z28, BMW M series, Dodge Viper,Tesla, ‘Vette, Lambo, McClaren, or Bugatti?


Or… ?


where-ever your audio system lands price wise, you choose the relative cost equivalent vehicle as it is now, and or which one you hope to eventually have on the ‘show room’ floor.


Enjoy.

Should I have mentioned: the GT in that vid, was a later 427 version(NOT small block)?
@glupson - "Yugo, in comparison, was roomy, comfortable, and relatively modern."    There’s wasn't much else, that a Yugo was a step up FROM(to end a sentence with a proposition).
@blindjim - Those GTs were small-blocks too AND; some are still out there kicking butt(ie: even in the Quarter): https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=ItLJoKTfWPw What a gorgeous piece of automotive sculpting! "all show and no go? nope. / ....blew the head off racing. sold it broken for half what I had in it."     Ever ridden a bored and stroked Shovelhead? A buddy of mine owned a big-bore kit KZ and a majorly customed Sporty. He let me take the KZ through the park. It was fun, but- zip and splats always put me in mind of BIC lighters(compared to Zippo)! Then there’s the comfort on a cross-country thing(even chopped). Different strokes for different folks(so many applications, for that cliche’).
@glupson- Southeastern Europeans: Gotta love ’em. So easy to entertain! Though; playing in all that mud, does look like a lot of fun. But- my ’79 Super Glide weighed 44 lbs less than a 750S and had almost twice the ponies(58 HP), when it was stock. It wasn’t exactly quick(then), either.
@blindjim - Never was much for Ford, but- ALWAYS drooled over Caroll’s Cobras(ACs, that is)! He had his fingers in the Ford GT/GT40 leg-wetters too. AHHHH, the Sixties(high octane/compression, no cats/emission controls and lead rocked)!
SORRY!  Small as my listening room is, the choices for a dream car(as requested), were either Zastavas or Isettas, though- I probably COULD buy a few of each, for what I have in my system. If fitment weren’t an issue, I’d have mentioned a nice, low mileage, stock, ’87 GNX.
@an10490413 - Nothing can beat the bass immediacy and dynamics of a good explosion!
@glupson - The 750S’ added 5HP(over the base model) was a already a scary step, with all that blistering performance. It’s been my experience, as vehicles get fancier/more luxurious, they put on weight(hubcaps, chrome, carpet, etc). Performance being about power to weight ratio; I want to avoid that, or I might add some aero-effects. ie: https://barnfinds.com/1979-zastava-750-abarth-wannabe/  Looks slippery, no?   I WAS considering eyelashes, just for the aesthetic value.
