Never actually listened to the sound system in the Camaro. Test drove plenty, but never had the radio on. Is everyone comparing to the base system or the Boston Acoustics system?

I've got Shaker Pro in my GT500 and my sister has Shaker 500 in her Vert and I can say with out a doubt they are significantly better than the Boston Acoustics. The Boston Acoustics has very poor bass compared to the Base Shaker 500.

Just traded in my 2013 mustang gt premium for a 2013 camaro 2ss/rs crt.Loved everything about the mustang except the mt-82 tranny. could'nt shift the thing fast would miss 2nd to third shift most of the time when racing someone whats the point in having a sports car that you can't drive like a sports car. have had 5 sports cars all except the mustang had a tr6060 never had any problem shifting any of them.Dealer said there was nothing wrong with it, no not when your just driving normally but when driving aggressively the thing would'nt shift from second to third it would lock you out,so i traded it in.

I think they are both great American Muscle Cars, there are good and bad points for both...

I imagine that unplugging the skip shift solenoid or getting a tune from brenspeed would have been a heck of a lot cheaper. I'm pretty sure the camaro has a skip shift as well. :(

Thats because it was designed by a great company but built by substandard chinese manufacturing, when they work they work really good. problem is you have alot of not so great.
Speaking of crappy Chinese stuff my SS stock heavy azz wheels are made in China. Those stock wheels are bricks...:(

Yep, I would not turn down either one.

The BA im my Camaro will blow you out of the car w/ the Bass, unfortunately a lot of people liked that and cranked it up so much they kept blowing speakers and returning it for warranty, so GM put Bass limiters in or something similar, the 2011`s and up have like no Bass. If I took mine in under warranty they would do the same thing to my car. But, I crank it up w/ awesome bass, just not too high ad it sounds awesome! Better than the Bose in my Corvette and Tahoe for Bass. So awesome sound system just GM adding nannies to keep down warranty claims. Just like all the damn torque management in the stock tune.

Weird.... My 2010 has absolutely crappy bass and its never turned all the way up either. It was built in December if I recall so maybe that's when they started neutering the sound.

I think it was middle of the model year when they nuetered it, mine was an early model june of 2009. There were some threads on here about people complaining when they took it in for the blown speakers they got it back w/ like no Bass...
