There was a RLer who posted the same kind of vid of driving on twisties a few years ago. He too crossed the center line a few times. He was crucified here for it, so much so that he never posted again. LOL. Got to admit, sub's car sounds better though.

I will be posting more. Now, my driving in Romania video......well the guys that are upset by this one - please don't click on that video when I upload it. Although most of the time, there were no yellow lines even painted.

I didn't get it from GoPro but I am sure they have a solution.
You have to use a Mic adapter and a separate 12' external mic. I got them off amazon.
Here is the adapter:

Here is the mic w/ 12' of cord:

Enjoy. It makes for good sound and gets rid of the wind buffeting.

You just don't hear turbo spool like that on the 993, 996, and 997s. What's changed? My memory, perspective, or something Porsche has done? I like it, btw.

I agree it sounds pretty awesome.

The whoosh of the turbos spooling up is quite evident at low rpms. It is much more noticeable when I have the sunroof open and the windows down. With the windows up and sunroof closed, it is hard to hear any turbo sounds inside the car. Higher rpms, you can't hear any turbo sounds windows open or not. I like the sound of the turbo six. It is not quite as raucous as the PSE-equipped 3.4 that I had in my Boxster but still retains that characteristic flat six sound along with low pitched turbine-like whine. Very similar.

That’s what my .2 GTS sounds like...with the windows down. I like it but still thinking of getting sport cats and maybe full exhaust to get closer to that glorious .1 sound.

Quote from my wife (not a car person)...... "I never fully appreciated Ms. Daisy until you got the 911; she sounds like my hair dryer". I like the sound of my 911 though too.
Ms. Daisy is our 2014 Boxster S w/PSE.

This was reason number 20 why I kept my 981. That NA sound with PSE......wow.

You are a lucky guy. After I had the SE installed in my Boxster, I was constantly ridiculed by my wife. She thinks even my non-PSE 911 is loud but tolerates it. Funny thing is, my 19 year old niece was visiting just when I had the SE installed in my Boxster and I took her for a drive. When she started laughing at the farting sounds in sport mode, I never engaged the sport mode again with PSE on. I never liked the backfiring sounds either but the SE did sound a little nicer, deeper in tone, in normal driving mode.

You're lucky, my wife doesn't tolerate anything about the 991 and yet she expects me to tolerate her sport bike nonsense...
