Default Turbo your car for a dollar

At least for those of you with iPhone's

Browsing through app store I found this app called iboost.

Time to throw some subs in the back and pretending I'm boosting

This device (apparantly, from the ad) doesn't actually increase power or engine-performance. It simply varies the sound of the exhaust-tone. A similiar, driver-adjustable device on the dash was included in some versions of the old Mitsubishi 3000 GT and VR-4 sports-cars...it varied the sound of the exhaust to the driver's wishes.

Only if they included the sound of a 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel.

If you got little nephews or cousins who are into cars, they love crap like this. Seriously!!! I have a recording of a Turbo Mustang shifting thru all the gears on my phone. I think its absolutely dumb, but all my little relatives love it. I just play it when accelerating onto the highway and they swear we are in the fastest car ever. I just bust out laughing cuz i'm just getting up to the speed limit getting on the highway and they are having a blast thinking they are in a race car
