OK. I'll be your huckleberry.
The ONLY part of your statement that is correct is the word "TONS." Because that is how much your car is going to weight to make that crap nearly as effective as whats in my first link. And BTW, that's a
big thread, and SOME of them are correct and some of them are NOT.
I am not going to do
YOUR homework for you. But since I am a nice guy - Here, let me give you a
CLUE: ""
half tar-like and half aluminum.."
So you in your "brilliance" are recommending to the original poster that he use tar and aluminum to sound proof the car.
Do you go to a plumber for dental work!? I find your post arrogant, pointless and MISLEADING.
In other words, you are WASTING our time. Go back to corral with your
tude before you convince some newbie to TAR and FOIL his car - just so he has to pull it all up because:
#1 IT DOESN"T WORK and it IS tar.
#2 IF by some miracle you lay down enough that it does work, you will have to weigh down your car so much you might as well USE CEMENT. The guy in your link used SEVEN roles and suggests it is lighter rolled out than when rolled up?
#3 EITHER WAY when it all turns to GOO in 3 months time after it MELTS, it LOSES it's functionality!!
Great advice! Keep it coming!
EDIT: To back up my claims (Kevin, try READING YOUR OWN LINK!)

First off, there is a big difference in 90 temps and 115 temps. The inside of a car can get well above the rated temperature of "peel and seal" in 115+ texas heat.
Secondly, peel and seal is a roofing material. I give you that. Go put some on your roof and then go up there and pull it off in the middle of the afternoon on a sunny 100+ degree day. I have installed "peel and seal" on the roof of a car port in the summer in TX and it made one heck of a mess.
I wasn't able to find the pictures of the dripping tar from the doors (Its been a couple years since I saw the pics). However, here is a link where someone had "peel and seal" from HD mounted in their trunk and it made a "gooey mess" -their words not mine. Feel free to PM them and report back.
I am pretty sure these guys are the suppliers for HD peel and seal now. If you read that page they specifically say "Storage: Keep rolls dry, protect from sunlight." If they are so resistant to heat as you say, then why store them out of the sunlight? Because sunlight will heat up the rolls and melt the backing and make a mess. Hmm..."
