I'm going to go with a negative there, Ghost Rider.

How do you compare the road noise between the 997 and 991 T? Just curious since they pulled some noise insulation out of the "T" if there is more road noise or is it about the same?

Regards,

Tire noise is about the same but engine noise is more pronounced...not just the exhaust but you can hear the mechanics of the gear shifts, spool of the turbos and howl of the flat 6. I also feel like I hear more rocks being picked up in the wheel well but not sure if that is just my mind playing tricks on me.

If you plan to rock the T in the winter, you need to make sure your garage isnt heated or can stays bellow freezing for the most part. Non heated detached garage or parking outside are key if winter driving. And cleaning her off once a week or two to remove most of the salt road grime. Salt itself typically wont do much as long as the car is parked outside, its the temps rising that will bring havoc to the cars uncoated surfaces.

Great looking car!
