Once the revs are up, the car/engine gives out this awesome "whine" type sound. I haven't heard the car sounding like this in any other video/review.

Forward to 3:30 and listen.

While I haven't done the compare between reviewers....could simply be different audio recording equipment.

No doubt- the audio recording equipment; and the environment where it is recorded will have a little influence, as well.

That whine or siren like sound at redline is awesome. Wonder if it actually sounds like that in person. After watching that video, I'd be a little disappointed if I bought the car and it didn't hit that high note. That said, I'm sure the car still sounds good.

The car sounds even better in person. I like the sound better than the Ferrari 458(my opinion). Now, the Ferrari is a pretty sound, which is nice and sort of suits the Italian car, but the GT3 sound in not pretty but more menacing/intimidating but not annoying by any means. I have not been overly impressed, over the years, by the exhaust notes form a Porsche but they really nailed it on this model.

Not half as annoying to me as your Avatar. Plenty of other places to go for politics
on the internet but I don't feel Rennlist should be one of them.
