I customized the audio system on my 328.

Hellcat is running on an almost 30yr old Mercedes platform. Of course, it is heavy.
My closest comparison is my brothers 328 sedan: manual, rwd, 3400lbs.

It has some weighty options(but necessary for daily) like xenons, power seats and logic 7.

But also non-i drive, sport pack and some oem+ mods that were found at pic n pull yards for literally nothing: 3 stage mani, #114 metal shaft disa, N54 throttle body, 330i front brakes, E60 water/oil cooler, strut stop cut/alignment pin removed, 330i cat back, xi 15mm rear swaybar, E92 c pillar plates, E92 rear subframe brace and CDV delete. These cars are lego so setting them up and mods is easy.

Also have MILVs and a secondary cat delete but good mods can be had for nothing for these cars and its also a fun car on the street; imagine with 600lbs less.
