No Bose - unless you are playing engine noise, I don't think you could tell it was on.

Yeah, I have the Bose in my Spyder and it makes sense there, particularly with the Soul OAPs. But this RS is on another sound level it seems.

Lets be honest...most of the buyers were going to ditch the cars anyway....because they are flippers.

HOWEVER...that car spun to 8000 RPM and this one goes to 11...i mean...8800 RPM which translates into a substantial increase in engine noise onboard!

See attached...and yes...i changed underwear after!

Yikes! Nice job avoiding the lawn mower that came back on track! I'll take over an allocation if someone passes on it due to noise. I wear earplugs anyway in my GT4 on track... cup cars, trans am cars, F1 cars, NASCAR cup cars, etc that show up at local DE's will all make your ears ring with the windows down mandate.

I think your theory is right. You may want BOSE because it delivers better sound in the louder cabin. That said, in drive, loud button off and cruising I think the car will not be that loud. See Steve Sutcliff road test. I may have to sit in the car to get to Road America for 6 hours. I’m coming from a 7.2RS. That was loud.

Maybe I'll leave the Bose in. Does anyone know if you save any weight without it?
This PDLS delete issue has now got me thinking that my build might be bloated.

Pretty sure I saw Porsche Design Ear Plugs as an option on the 4RS configurator for $718.

In my GT3, I’m hitting 9k every time I move it.
