Well, it's good time to excuse myself to get a Hsu or SVS subwoofer...I did NOT factor more $$$$ into this.

It's really tough choices, but why limit yourself to those two cars??? -MBenz SL550 -BMW M6 -Audi R8 -Caddy XLR-V -Aston Martin V8 Vantage -Porsche 911 S4 -Jaguar XKR I think all are super nice in its own way. But personally I'd go with AMV8. Why? Because you'd be James Bond, not German.
