Speed Vs Stereo
What do you guys think? I want to get my hp up with intake and exhaust, but this will also get my decibles up. How much will this interfere with my interior listening environment for my stereo upgrade? I don't want to add sound deadening if this adds much weight.
I seem to be working against myself.

Personal opnion here. Car interiors are very harsh places to listen to music. Spending lots of money on a stereo that can be easily stolen for an environment that doesn't really support quality sound is silly.
You buy a sports car for the performance. Spend your money on performance. Chuck the stereo and enjoy the exhaust notes.

I'd much rather have my car sound good, than go fast....but hey take your concerns to a Car Audio Shop...if they know what they are doing they can cut down wieght at your request...build enclosures out of fiberglass instead of MDF for instance.....
You can build a great system and keep it around 100lbs

Know it all
Sound quality can be improved as much as you want. And better ear you have, better sound you may want to have and you can still hear the exhaust and engine at the same time.... That's my opinion.
However, to have very good sound and acoustic treatment by professional to have "real acoustic" in the car, total cost is 5 didits including stereo. If you don't put crazy stuff, it's not that heavy.... Just put amp and better speaker. It's not that expensive and it doesn't pull out that much power.

Has anyone heard the 240 watt stereo in the Z yet? I'm not a really keen car audio guy but with 6 speakers plus a sub, I'd bet that it would provide some pretty sweet sound. Especially considering the smaller confines of a 2 seater.

I think you have the money to buy to buy the cars that we all wish we had. I think it is really something that you are so into the Z. Could you please tell me why?
What about the porsche GT2? I would take that over the lambo straight up.

I believe the pics are real, but the neighborhood that the pics are taken in just doesn't match up. You have a list of cars that contains multiple 100K plus cars, and the pictures are taken in the driveway of a house that doesn't cost much more than the cars.
I know there are people that spend all their money on cars, and I think it would be really cool to live next door, but it just seems too fantasy like.
Truthfully, I don't really care, but if you want to really prove your point, can I have a ride in your lambo
