Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Needed something good on gas. Parked the truck,(see 05-01-09 above), bought a 5 speed Chevy Cobalt. Kind of like driving a go-kart. Fun.

Saving up for a '10 Audi S4. They are replacing the V8 with a supercharged V6, getting like 30% better gas mileage and shaving 0.5 seconds off the 0-60

A Formula Mazda race car sponsored by TARA Labs, Focal, Aesthetix Audio, Audio Unlimited, IT Liquidators and others. The team and car can be seen at QuantSPEED Racing. This car has also been in several magazines, on TV, in various blogs, at the Denver Auto Show in the Mazda booth, at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, and will be at the Denver Good Life Expo helping to draw attention to high-end audio. When I saw that this thread that I posted in years ago was still alive, I couldn't resist posting this.

Dinan, very intersting. Can you hear the refined highs of the Focals over the noise of the rotary's raucous exhaust??? Just kidding, I know they're sponsors, not installed in the racecar.

BTW, I suppose, given your handle, that you have a Dinan BMW. If so, which one?

I drive a 2009 E92 M3 with a "Dinan" nameplate mounted inside the trunk in recognition of my Dinan final drive, spring kit, throttle bodies, chip, etc. and I'm a member of the RMC BMMW CCA and active autocrosser.

See you at RMAF, if not at BMW CCA. ;-)

Hi Dave,

Over the years I have had a Dinan 5 (E34) a Dinan S3 E36 M3, a Dinan S3 S54 M Coupe, and a Dinan S2 135i that belongs to my wife. Also had an S54 M Roadster that was modded but not by Dinan as I was waiting for the Coupe.

I look forward to snapping up one of the new twin turbo Z4's to go off on after they are a couple of years old as the $62K sticker is stupid!

The E92 M3 is a blast and a great car to Dinan out. :-)
