I don't have a Boss, but in my '12 GT Sync is pretty much worthless. Definitely not worth taking a loss for if that was the only reason to upgrade. The road noise in a stock GT drowns out my voice, and most people on the other end can't hear me as it is. I couldn't imagine how bad it'd be with the exhaust discs removed in a Boss.

I'm not a big fan of the Shelby front-end look. I'm not sure what it would take for me to switch.

Has this crossed anyone elses mind?
How much do you drive your Boss? 8 months tops? Mine won't see snow.
I'd like the little gauge package but not worth a swap IMO.....

Use it for pit crew communication.

That's a good point. I usually have the windows down in the Boss and on top of the open side pipes, the Corsas are pretty loud too. I love it in my truck for hauling the Boss to the track.

I have my discs removed and this is why I like taking the Boss when the Missus is going to ride with me. "What's that honey? I couldn't hear what you said."

Too bad you can't do that in the living room.

Or just do like my dad and remove the hearing aids. My hearing is already suspect at best. I am looking forward to making it worse with plenty of WOT runs.

That because the 500 is weak sauce unless you get into it.

The 500 doesn't need a special key for it to sound like a race car, you just have to hit the gas pedal. otspilledonyou: lol

Check the original comment, 93-331-29psi is talking about his GT, not a boss.
