Ya I know, but believe it or not we do it all the time, You don't always use the center channel but most 5.1 processors will distribute the signal of center to the front left and right speakers. End result is just awesom. Specialy if you have time allignment abilities either in the deck or the processor.
There is no rule that says you can't do it in a sports car. as a matter of fact it works great. Why give up what you like if you don't have to. 5.1 is not just for movies there are plenty of concert recordings and various artists now record in 5.1
Try listening to "Hotel California" in 5.1 vs stereo amazing details come to the staging. I have one customer that won't do a system in any of his cars unless it is 5.1 and has a big collection of 5.1 recorded music videos.
