Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

While I have to much common sense to be called an Audiophile. I enjoy driving fast. I judge a car by its evasive manuverability. The safest car to drive fast, is the best handling car. The best handing cars have engines behind the driver and in front of the rear wheels for balance.

Sumflow, I agree with mid engine concept. In 1976 my best bud had a Fiat X1/9 and we worked it with Abarth suspension, intake, and exhaust upgrades. It still had way less than a hundred horses but that was no comfort to the 'Vette driver chasing us one night who didn't make the last turn before Saratoga on Hwy 9 and plowed sideways into the concrete bridge rails. I drive a pickup truck now but I have a couple motorcycles that will spank your Porsche. Kind of like tubes vs. SS-both good but a matter of preference. Enjoy that McLaren....

I tend to relate tubes vs. SS to cars with carburetors vs. fuel injection. Carbureted engines have to warm up before they run well. Carbureted engines can be finicky when the weather changes. Better have a screwdriver handy to make adjustments. But when everything is dialed in, that carbureted engine sounds so good...

Tonywinsc,
Could be a perfect automotive analogy. Fuel injection is mostly right all the time and extremely dependable but the most perfect running motor vehicle I ever had was a carbureted '88 BMW R100GS motorcycle and it absolutely purred. Power on that bike was like a stepped resistor ladder volume control-I could modulate the throttle in what seemed like one RPM increments.

Dodge charger, the engine sounds as good as my vintage gear.
