Default part 2 of "dont ever do this"

Figured I start another thread on this. There seems to be a few high end cars with low to mid end equipment. Example - Alpines former demo car. Lamborghini(?) with mid end Alpine equipment. Or there might possibly be a (god forbid) Porsche running Kraco. How about a Maclaren F1 running Rockford Fosgate? (ugh).

Any memorable high end cars running high end equipment? Last one I saw in a japanese mag was a vehicle running F#1 Status, Dyn speakers and some pricey equipment.

Still shuddering at the thought of a Porsche running Kraco...you never know...

I think it was like $250,000, not counting the freebies they got from sponsors.

KRACO. Oh man, thought I'd heard the last of that, since PepBoys started carrying Sony and Pioneer these days. Reminds me of some other memorable home brands as well, like Sounddesign, Lloyd's, and my personal fav, Broksonic.
Porsche with Kraco? If anyone ever does that, get them some good mental help.
