Given what Dundon said about their headers, and scavenging, along with 4.5 pushing the limits of 9k and 13.4 CR, maybe Miles' exhaust choices needed more fuel map customization. I also think the "GT3" 4.5 is relatively new, so, teething.

Don't think they do gears on the GT3

Headers are like 4600
AWE rear section seems like he had previously
LSD sounds about right, maybe a bit more

Lol at the "Kat Williams" approach to the color choice (@ 15:15)...apparently a 4RS vs. Matt's 4.5 video may be in the works:

4.5 at 9k must sound like absolute war. Makes me want to send my GT3 over for this, especially as I really want to hear a 9k PDK 4.5 shift lol

I don't get the appeal of that fat turd, but the car does sound good.

Wow, so this guy's had his sexuality challenged and now his weight. Nice contribution Bill, you seem angry. This is a car forum, maybe relax a bit.

I may be a minority on this - but I don't think it sounds great. It may be just what's coming through on camera, but it has a chain saw kind of thudding. Sounded better with the valves closed.
The wheels improve the look of the car.
It seems to me that this "sport mode" is an aftermarket mode tuned in by DeMan.

Agreed. It's not necessarily better, just different. I think they also lost the angry growl of the stock intake which is one of my favorite sounds. I drive my Spyder a lot with the top up just for that.

Possibly, this is what I see as the name for that button...

Maybe Dr. Bill put it a bit harshly but I honestly don't get the appeal either and why this forum seems to be obsessed with him and his car. I think I counted 6-8 threads about that car already.
