Thanks, the direct comparison to the 991 GTS is very helpful, and I'm therefore inferring that the T is really not much different than any other 991.2, which is good to hear (pun intended). In all the many reviews I've read on the Carrera T, there seems to be a big range of descriptors when it comes to cabin noise, one reviewer said he could barely hold a conversation at highway speeds, yet others say they could barely hear a difference to the base Carrera. During my short test drive I didn't focus on the cabin noise so much, because at that time I had not realized that Porsche deleted some of the sound insulation, and I was trying to take in the other aspects of the car on the 3 mile loop the dealer uses for tests. I'm currently driving a Cayman S (981) and that is about as loud of a car as I want to own for a DD. When I did drive the T, it seemed about like my 981, but it was a different character of sound than either the 981 or the 997. It's hard to draw conclusions on something like this without spending some significant time behind the wheel in a variety of circumstances, so I appreciate all the opinions.
