Cool car?
On a stop by Wikipedia for other reference work, I happened upon their article about the Maserati MC12, Maserati's supercar (comparable to the Ferrari Enzo). I immediately began daydreaming about the gentle vibration of the 630 horse 6.0 liter v12 right behind the driver seat, the tight cornering, the massive but effortless acceleration...
And then I noticed that it doesn't have a CD player, radio, or any sound system whatsoever, nor any space or hookups for one. Sheesh. If I am going to drop $820 grand on a car, I don't want to also have to bring an iPod just to listen to tunes. Guess I'll be sticking to more run-of-the-mill Maseratis from now on.

That is one hot car. You'd think they'd have the sense to put a stereo system in it. I mean, what's the point of having the sweetest car around if you can't play thunderous music while driving it?
What about a Dodge Charger SRT8? Would that work for you?
It comes with:
Speaker Systems: 6 Boston Acoustics Speakers
Sound Systems: AM/FM Stereo with CD Player
Sound System Components: SIRIUS® Satellite Digital Radio
Optional:
Rear Seat Entertainment Video System
On this point my friend I must disagree. This super car is just that a superb piece of machinery, lacking nothing mechanically, its spartan interior hails back to its Italian formula 1 race heritage. This vehicle would primarily be used for going really really fast! A radio/CD player would only slow this giant monstrosity of engineering perfection down. If comfort and speed is what one is looking for perhaps a Bentley Continental GT would be more appealing, as its MSRP is a mere $176k. It comes standard with a twin turbo 6.0L W12 552BHP AWD, in addition to getting 19MPG on the highway, and it has a radio among other multi-media accoutremount.
