GT3 Touring Road Noise - Really?
Have a PTS Touring landing in 30 days and was very surprised with this reviewer's comments.
Look at this review around the 3:20 minute mark
Would value comments from any current GT3 Touring owners. Would Porsche really engineer their Touring model to be louder than their track beast? Some people will say "who cares", but I do.
Thoughts? Thank you.

I traded my .2 manual for a touring package about 3 weeks ago. I put 2,700 miles on the first, and have put around 500 on the touring.
From my experience... the road noise is a little louder in the touring, but definitely not as extreme as that guy in the video says.
What they don't mention in the video is that the engine noise is lower in the touring (IMHO). To me, the slightly quieter engine note (inside the cabin) in the touring makes the road noise more noticable.
My guess is the different intake system must be the cause. Regardless, both incredible but have different character.
