Is it just me? Just an observation when driving my coupe.
Since acquiring and driving my '04 coupe last year, I find myself not listening to the car radio as much anymore. Somehow, I prefer listening to that wonderful sound that my Borla Stingers make. It is music to my ears, especially during the occasional bursts of WOT on the open road.

I am the same way. I never turn the radio on, I have the sound of the prt's. Air condition is only on when I have the wife in the car. Windows are always open!!

Oh me too definitely...I have never turned on the radio even once, and I have to wonder why anyone would bother to install an enhance stereo capability in these cars which make there own special music...that sound of the "hot car symphony" playing...

I rarely use mine... the audio system will probably be the only thing I don't modify on mine, never cared much about that stuff in a car anyways

I listen to my stereo all the time, but it doesn't bother me at all when it gets drowned out by my Corsa exhaust.

your "right on" Devil dog! When I had my Vette it was always the Beach boys but now in my "55" Chevy it's The Ronettes or the Capri's or maybe the 4 seasons! Each car seems to have it's own type of music! And thanks for your service to our country.

I have my radio on mostly whille at steady, no shift cruise speeds 35 on up (little or no shifting). Turn it down when slowing or accelerating to hear engiine and know when to shift w/o relying on tach. A big part of the fun of the car for me is audible. Guess thats why I like the thrill of tire squeal on WOT.

I rock out when I drive, but I do like to listen to the titanium exhaust while driving spirited with the top off.

You guys must like exhaust a lot or just not drive that much. A decent stereo is the only thing that keeps me sane on long drives. Cruise control at 70 only sounds good for a few minutes, then it's boring.
