And it was even better than the 981 Boxster GTS I drove a while back. Such an amazing car! It even sounded better than the NA flat 6 from the GTS and this thing didn’t even have the sport exhaust!

You might need to get your ears checked!

Nope! You have to experience this thing in person! Sounds so much more meater than the 981.

I just can’t imagine it sounding more soulful coming up to redline than the flat six. But, I will concede that I have yet to actually hear it in person.

I’m going to be in a base Cayman (presumably a 718... I hope?) at the Atlanta Porsche center next month. What are you driving now?

I would say to the average person the 981 sounds a bit better; for me though I quite like this a lot. It almost sounds like a 356 or something; its a really interesting sound.
