congrats you are a lucky man

 

That's good to hear because I've had some shady experiences with Koons in the past.

Pretty cool up to 50 mph!

 

Picked up the car at Koons in Baltimore from Tom. Great dealer, experience and even better a super knowledgeable salesman! He is their Shelby/Boss specialist(sidenote they have a 2011 Shelby SVT PP gray with no stripes for almost $3000 off sticker!!)

The car has 8.3 miles on it and had no power at all...till she rolled over to 12 miles!! Then it was unreal!! Tom said the Boss must have an engine protection protocal written in the ECu like the Shelby's to protect the motor when brand new. Anyway I am beat...but still removed the side exhaust silencers...sounds sick as ****

Pick of the silencer:


Stock it sounded identical to a GT...NOW it sounds like a real racecar!! Besides possible Longtubes and a tune I wont be changing the catback unless others show that it's restrictive...it sounds THAT good!

 

Wowza!!! big, big time congrats!

How much difference in sound? Will the neighbors complain if it doesn't have the silencers?

 

Politically correct comment of the day, Andy I think I speak for the rest of us when I say I hate you at least until next week when mine is home

 

I don't think so...but I haven't heard a cold start yet

 

If it sounds anything like I heard at Woodward, I wouldn't even get longtubes. The 5.0 has some nice headers to start out, and they worked hard on that sound for the Boss.

Congrats, and I look forward to hearing any sound clips you might get!

 

That is awesome! Enjoy it man! On the GT500 it was 5 consecutive miles or 50 starts to engage the supercharger. Sounds like a similar program for the Boss. Are you sure it was 12 or was it 13 :-)

 

I have a question about that silencer plate. I was wondering if you could get some dimensions on it for me? Possibly full scale scan it? How thick is it? I'm looking to make a few at work with different sized holes to see what they each sound like If not it's no biggie, but can't hurt to ask!

 

Nice. Can you describe how much louder the car is without the attenuation discs?

 

It also looks a lot thinner then the pics of the pre-production cars. I take it there were no issues with the pipes pulling back together?

 

Enjoy the car! I'm glad Koons didn't screw you over as they've been known to do.

 

 

Thanks. I think you drill out the disc until you find the sound you like and you're done.

 

Finding a set of original discs 40 years from now will be as hard as finding a smog pump for a 70 now

 

That's why I want to cut custom ones for myself at work! That way I can swap them out if I'm in the mood for something else

 

Please plan on selling some extra sets.

 

Once I figure how much it's going to be based on the thickness of the plate and how much a sheet of it will cost I'll let ya know
