I agree straight pipes don't sound better. But they are as good and sound obnoxiously loud in a good way.

No.

Somehow I've never been a fan of straight pipes. They're just too loud.

Getting back to the topic, if the 918's exhaust sounds even half as good as the CGT's, I'd take it! Not that I can afford one, just sayin'

Any videos of your CGT? Never heard a CGT with straight pipes in the UAE.

Gt3rs

The RS will follow less than 6 months after the GT3. No doubt it will be a monster. PDK coupled with all wheel steering and 991 based suspension will set a new standard. I love the 997 GTs (i've owned 3.8RS, 4.0RS and GT2RS). Can't wait for the 991 RS... I never thought i would ever adapt to a water cooled Porsche either, but technology keeps on rolling.

Yes. All modern sports have lost their souls, not just Porsche.

I disagree, 458 has got a beautiful soul

How do you like your tt 458? Stock 458 gets tailhappy when provoked but isnt too hard to handle. I wonder how the tt's affect the balance of the car?

we're probably splitting hairs, but from what i hear (I live in ATL... HQ for Porsche NA) and GT3 in Nov 13, RS is out 6 mths later. Mid to late 14, can't wait...
