If they removed as much sound insulation on the GT3.2 as on R. , then the GT3.2 will be very boomy indeed. That's Not a bad thing, but after many hwy, mntns and track miles in the 911r, I can say it's definitely a very loud and echoey car inside.. feels like an old race car.
I'm also glad the engine top-end comparison with the R & RS was mentioned, I had also discussed this in my "911R driving impression" thread posts in the past, but I was cautious not to speak any further on that subject so as not to ruffle any VIP feathers... I value my driving privileges and I am in love with driving the 911r both on road and on track.. in fact I would take it almost over any other half million dollar & up hyper car I've had the honor to test. However, hearing about the stronger top end on this GT3.2 makes me very very excited that this could be, literally the "perfect" car, as that top end strength or surge was all the 911r was missing to become the ultimate "for life" sports car, if such a Unicorn could exist.

Yes they all sound the same. I am struggling to understand why these journalists didn't go into the "first drive" more prepared. It sounds more like they are reciting the paper specs. My first question is why isn't it immediately compared to the .1? They knew they would be driving a PDK so why not throw in some comparisons to really give us something?
I'm not sure if you're deliberately obtuse, but I can assure you he did not skip the GT3 launch to "wait" for a manual to test.

Yep, Looks like the embargo is lifted. Carfection, DriveTribe both released their Gt3 reviews.
What I want to see is how it drives in the city landscape...super excited about this car

Why do some reviewers go on and on about how awesome a car is, how fast it is, how great it performs and then spend the entire video doddling around like a school marm doing her first track day? That Carfection video guy should pay everyone who watched his video for his time. He basically said nothing but 'this car is awesome' while puttering around and providing nothing of substance. I want that part of my life back.
