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.

uberwaltz,

"Thankfully Google told me it was the fantastic Yugo ( that was the name in England)."
Yugo was made by the same company as rodman99999's Zastava 750s choice, but it was not the same car.

Yugo, in comparison, was roomy, comfortable, and relatively modern.

Either way, looking back from 2019, you have not missed much. However, it did have certain charm.

@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 - "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).
I don't know what car is sitting in my listening room, but I can say that the listening room in my car (truck) is amazing. I'm finding the sound quality of the system I installed there difficult to match in the home.
Kenwood (high-end model - nothing special there) head unit to Phoenix Gold MS250 (high-current from the 90's) to 3-way Morel (8-3/4" bass) separates in the doors, and Orion HCCA250 Digital Reference (also from 90's) powering two 12" Digital Designs subs in a custom enclosure (I built). I'm amazed how good it sounds every time I get in the truck. How can the system sound that good with the drivers 90deg off axis! Think it has something to do with the massive hex-core magnets on the mids and tweets. I have considered getting a second set of Renaissance Audio SR-8.3 and build some home speakers with proper air volume for the bass driver.

You mean there was something worse than a Yugo???
Makes me break out in a cold sweat just contemplating the thought.

Course an old air cooled Beetle was also a terrible car to ride in although you could fix most problems on it with just a hammer, crescent wrench and screwdriver including dropping the motor out.

Yes that will offend a lot of lovers of those God awful things but they were/are horrible drivers.
