My wife's Audi Q5 has a 6.5'' factory sub, which is more than enough for me. Even the 8'' sub for my kit is overkill. Here is a pic I found online of the setup and even with an upgraded unit:

I really don't care if I have electric windows, over the air updates, remote start, heated/cooled seats, or most other such necessities, but i use them if I have them. Usually I'm pointing these things out when folks complain about how much cars cost now as part of the reason. The 86 is about the closest you can get to a decent basic car any more. I do like the idea of the Atom though, as @LimitedSlip suggested...

My twin fits my definition of GT really well. The only change I'd make is reducing road noise. Col. Spaulding and I drove 'Blue' from the tip of South Texas to visit a kiddo in D.C. a couple of years ago. 4 days and 1800 miles up and 3 days and 1600 miles back. Kept the daily mileage to 600 or less and things were great. Seats were comfortable, The colonel spent some of the time emulating Ms. Humfrz, a lot of time seeing the sights, and a bit of time gripping the door handle on the Cherohala Skyway and the Dragon.
Cabin noise aside, the car was great. Since then, I've installed lighter wheels and 225 tires which smoothed the ride a little and increased the noise. I recently bought a portable intercom for general aviation use along with a couple of decent headsets w/boom mikes. If the noise becomes intrusive we break those out and, aside from looking like refugees from a rally stage, it works really well.

Takes the conversation full circle. Is an ecoboost Mustang a GT car?

Less power. Lower trim. Not as many goodies. Sure why not?

Actually, the Colonel had a complexion about the color of your mizzuz top about halfway through the run up the Dragon. She was less than amused when I mentioned we had to drive back down it.
