The media system in this car is for sight and sound while keeping weight down due to racing the vehicle on a regular basis. Capable of playing DVDs with 5.1 Dolby surround sound the Kenwood unit also serves as the GPS navagation system along with being able to play kick ass tunes by way of FM, FM-HD, CD's, MP3s, satellite radio and an i-POD connection. The Memphis Belle amp is capable of cranking out a ticket worthy sound level that will leave most ears ringing and beeding.


In one complete package, I have show, go & sound without giving up or trading off too much in one area over another. It's fast, it gets comments everywhere I go (1st place St Louis NOPI in '05 in it's class) and it has great sound getting there.

sorry about the delay crazy_runner, the right side pillar pod houses the exhaust temp and fuel pressure gauges. The left pod houses the boost and A/F gauges while the 3 center gauges are oil pressure, water temp & oil temp. All are DEFI blackface except the A/F, which is the AEM gauge/wideband controller unit.
