Default 997 GT2 in Motortrend

"The GT2 is, quite simply, the finest road-going Porsche of all time. Yes, better even than the $450,000, V-10-powered Carrera GT exoticar. Really"

I will take the Carrera GT at anytime, just the sound alone is much better than the GT2.

A more powerful NA motor, especially with 10 cylinders, is always better anyway.

The GT3 stock sounds better than any turbo. Put Sharkies bypass and its heavenly and much more rich sounding than a GT2. There is no way to over come the extra muffling of a turbo which is a natural muffler. the turbo Bypass pipes are good but it will never be good enough to be out sound the GT3 NA motor.
