The Porsche is the only car I have ever had that I seldom, if ever turn on the radio. I thought about upgrading it, even added a iphone connection and still don't use it. I'd rather hear the engine.

I should have gone with my original title that included ".....besides the engine"

I agree here. No radio for me. The different "tracks" I like are just different RPM ranges. Love the sound of the engine.

I have the Bose option, and "Porn Star Dancing" by My Darkest Days sounds intoxicating. Hinder, Three Days Grace, Seether, Theory of a Deadman and Saving Abel all will make you feel alive and want to break the sound barrier in your car.

^^This.

I like listening to the car, great music to me. Less distraction, too. I can't deny that there are times where it would be nice to play some music when taking a nice joyride, though.

Throw "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain in your mix.
