Best sounding car you've ever heard

Who had or has the best sounding car in your opinion? Of all I've ever heard, my favorite is still the Speakerworks/Richard Clark Buick GN. Let's get a list going. It could be your local pizza delivery guy or this years Iasca champ...only rule is...you have to have heard it yourself!

I'm gonna go with...mine. Never really took the time to actively seek out other people's cars, and out of all my friend I always felt mine sounded better than theirs. If not mine then my cousin's old set up back in the mid 90's. He used to have my dad's old CV's that I use for my DJ setup, and I used to hear him coming from a good block or two away, and it was always clear.

Two of the best SQ cars I have ever heard are from Thailand. One of them is the same car that one IASCA finals in Atlanta. I heard it then and I heard it over in Bangkok, and wow was it awesome.

Locally for me the best car was Phil Petraccas MERCEDES(new install), Then Ralph Benedetti's Blue Chevy S-10(best depth and staging ever), Then Mike Mineos Camaro, then Cory Himels van(its very good tonally and great focused centre image).

Notable mentions:
Gary Biggs -Buick
Rusty and Aliison Greg -Daytona
Jason Snyder -Honda Civic
Harry Kimura's -Acura
Tony Dionisi's -Vette
Mickey Brones -Talon
Bob Troxler-RX7

mine is the best i've heard, haven't gone to hear any true sq cars though. My friends have systems but they aren't balanced quite as good as mine. Mine does sound really good to me, but i guess i should get out more as i'm sure there are many that sound better than mine.Mose of the people i know are into spl more than sq, so that may also explain it. My system sounds really really good to me but maybe to other people it doesn't sound as good, i dunno.

Best car I heard was Dominic B's Beretta GT at the 1993 Iasca finals. It didn't compete, but was in a booth demo. A very close second was Dale Fontenot's T-bird at the 1998 Iasca finals....whoa!

Dom sold it to Audio Concepts in Grande Prairie originally and then it popped up at at few events here and there, but never had the same sound...you know how it is. I would be curious to know what happened to the original gear that was in it. From what I know, all that gear was massaged to the hilt. Gorgeous sounding car in it's era.
