I do a lot of driving so music for me, being stuck in peak hour or driving on a highway for hours on end you need music you like IMO..

i wont vote on that, a v8 never gets old but no matter how sweet the car sounds you have to have some tunes.

Exhaust over music, any day. IMO

Although the previous owner spent $4000 on the Pioneer sound system, I very rarely listen to it, as I can't concerntrate, with loud music.:)

I wouldn't say it's music but when you hear a nice Holden 8 light up the tires 5 streets away from your house and you get a rush of a adrenaline and run outside to hear the rest of the burnout that's a pretty powerfull sound. Apart from a girl mid climax no other sound can do that for a guy and certainly no song (unless it's got samples of either of those two sounds in it can it do that:) )

there ain't nothing like a brocky modified 308 at full noise, can't hear the tunes when it's above 3000rpm with a bootfull of right pedal, gonna get even better when i have the twin flowmasters going, shame that the government here has just bought in new static noise emmisions test of 95dB when a one year old commie with standard exhuast was measured at 95.5dB, gotta love that 8 cylinder rumble

edit: i hear ya on that girl thing though
