Beyond balanced. Had the chance to take it around a small course at Cal Speedway when Lexus was in Socal for one of their events. The exhaust not is intoxicating.

Now if only the Porsche would sound 10% as good as the Lexus, that would be game over. Sadly it reminds more of a vacuum cleaner.

Well.. this is true for Turbo engines only!
Porsche's NA power plants sound much better!
LFA's music comes from another planet anyway...

Well yes, I was referring to the GT2. However, I'm extremely dissapointed with the sound of the Carreras as well. I love the GT3 (RS) sound, but why not make the Carreras sound a little sportier too? It's obviously possible, I mean listen to the 996 C4S. One of the best sounding Porsches to date imo.

Turbogallardo You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks!

There's no way a drag race between those two cars should even be close. The GT2 RS should walk it. If you notice on the video in the first race the Lexus got a major jump before the Porsche even started moving.
