What’s road noise like? And together with mechanical noises, is the whole experience easy to live with?

I’ll assume a general question. For me, it was louder than a 992 GT3 but quieter than a GT4RS, which I absolutely hated and wanted to drive an ice pick through my ears.

If you can live with a 4RS as a daily the ST will seem like a gentleman touring, if the regular GT3 is about as much as you can take, then option the smaller tank and add some sound deadening.

Agreed.
I don't understand this either.
In gears 4, 5, and 6 lugging the engine like that?
No bueno.

For those who think just throwing a light weight flywheel onto a GT3 will get you most of the way there, haven’t had seat time in a ST yet will be disappointed when they do.
@cosmos sure, different, but are the st and gt3t redundant? I assumed yes.

After two years on this thread hearing and seeing the first few cars arrive is really cool.

I imagine 918 VIP... who were not restricted to the one year lease requirement.
