Building an Epic 4-hour drive playlist

On Saturday, this beautiful super-lady should be mine:

It's a brand-new 2013 Imprezza WRX STi, all-wheel drive, turbocharged, and sport-tuned. To properly christen her, I am working on a playlist ahead of time, for the 4-hour drive home. Disclaimer: I won't be speeding, racing, or blasting music so loud I can't hear the engine. I will do all three in a couple months when I get the schedule for local Autocross events.

My playlist currently includes:

Drum&Bass (Pendulum)
Electronic (Fatboy Slim, Moby)

I'm planning on adding some:

Classic Rock (Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Journey, Europe...)
Hair Metal (Motley Crue...)
Gothic / Symphonic Metal (Demetori, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Nemesea, Sirena, Dream Theater...)
Epic (Two Steps From Hell)

The question is, what do you all recommend? I'm also taking a poll for the proper first track to blast on the stereo of my first new car, first sports car.
 
Those are great cars...its what I would have if I had wanted a car instead of a Jeep. That being said...you need more drum n bass. Logistics, Netsky, London Elektricity....to name a few.

Also its not Gothic metal but I tend to love metal bands with leading ladies. Something about going from screaming to beautiful singing is awesome. Check out In This Moment. Not to haply with their newest album but check out their older albums. Also your list could use some Glitch Hop

Gothic / Symphonic Metal ... Dream Theater...

If you add some Dream Theater make sure you don't go overboard or you might accidentally have it fill up half your drive.

As for the first song...I'm not actually 'recommending' this, but it would be quite fitting:
 
Can never go wrong with Imagine Dragons. :) Subarus are awesome cars. I want to get my wife a Subaru Outback sometime next year. After we get done paying for Disbey lol
 
These two are part of my "140mph on the Autobahn" tracklist:

(The build-up takes a while, but wait for the drop - it's awesome!)





But then again, I don't know how you'd be able to listen to those two songs without putting the pedal to the metal.
Maybe some glitch hop instead:

 
You will most likely not be able to hear most of this on your pc speakers, but I recommend it and use it to christen every new sound playing device I get. Enjoy feeling super ghetto.

 
This song has been on many studies showing that it is the song most likely to get you a speeding ticket.

Logistics made the list, and I'm really looking forward to listening through the rest.

If you want epic, you just could fill the entire four hours with one Wagner opera.

We'll listen to that during the 4-hour drive there :p

Truth! Dream Theater can also put me to sleep sometimes because of how melodic and calming it is. Best used in very small doses for long distance driving.

There's a version of Radioactive with a higher tempo and a female vocalist that goes fantastically with superbike race footage.

YES. I'm having trouble getting Subsonik to load onto my player, though (damn Zune software).
