Focal Utopia General Discussion

I sure do! The feeling of emmersion into anything is awesome. Being thrown back in the seat of a 4000 lb car is insane when it’s 826 bhp and 721 lbft of torque. It’s raining in SoCal today so I’m just put’n around but tonight I’m going to see Snarky Puppy in downtown LA and my hope is the rain stops so my tires have traction. ....my Utopia always seem to have traction rain or shine.
WOW i'm jealous, I would love to see Snarky Puppy! I hope you have a fun time.

In regards to the car I can't even mentally experience what that feels like... I bet its the tops though!!

And I love this btw "my Utopia always seem to have traction rain or shine."

So true...

Once again have a great time tonight, and I hope that the rain doesn't slip the whip!

If the weather lady is right, it should be clear, not so sure about dry. California needs the rain so I’m not going to complain but we sure do get spoiled with great weather 90% of the year. In fact we don’t really get weather really. We get sunshine and cool ocean breezes. :)

Stay warm and tonight I’ll try to capture some good video of the concert. Don’t think I’ll need the Utopia tonight :)

Stay well and stay warm my friend! :)

It's probably similar to the thrill of threshold braking into turn 17 at Sebring International Raceway.
The price of my Utopia's doesn't seem that bad considering what I used to spend on motorsports. ....I know, off topic.

P.S. Yes, the name of my team was Broke Ass Motorsports.
Our motto was "Driver Carries No Cash"

Sorry don’t have any track shots in my phone. But this is the 826 bhp beast.

A little tighter ass end but definitely similar

826HP with a drop top and 3-point belts?!?! DAMN :astonished:
I love the speed, but I like it with a full cage, fire supression, 6-point belts and fireproof underoos!

Great taste in sleds - my hats off to you!

No, it’s got a 5 point roll cage inside and real racing equipment and emergency fire gear. That was just a beauty shot for a Focal promotion. It gets squirrely at about 185 mph. I’ve had my Ford GT at Sebring and Limerock but generally I run the Shelby here on the west coast

I've only ever hit 160mph and that was at Daytona on the road course coming off the banking into turn 1. ....off the charts pucker factor!

That's a great looking Focal promo shot!

Ah yes, the pucker factor! I’ve experienced that one a number of times. Willow Springs turn 9 is about at bitch at 125 mph coming out of the long sweep. Hit it wrong and you eat hey and gravel .....hitting the kitty liter there is not fun.

The Porsche track is 5 miles from my office so I try to run with them as often as possible. It’s a fun group of guys. Yours looks pretty sweet

Great to see some racing enthusiasts here! Rain or shine, no seat belts, 15,000rpm under your elbows, hold on to your life was my all time favorite. Now I just occasionally chase cones with a heavy grocery getter WRX when I'm not listening to Utopia :)

Don't knock the Focus! Well not if you have an RS. I enjoy the 350 hp all wheel drive. While certainly not a Cobra it will put you back in your seat.:astonished:

Nothing wrong with an RS for sure

While we are discussing offtopic things: Is there a way to search the "For Sale" Pages by regions? For example only headphones that are being sold in Europe?
