Mike thanks for hosting. I hope we did not leave too many empty beer bottles laying around 
Sound:
Erik drove the Stephen's 3.8RS to AWD with MM and back with Sharky (Hour each way a lot of time stuck in traffic jams and traffic lights). He can probably describe the difference better. Erik?
I think sound quality is similar, like Eduardo says the MM is a bit darker and both get louder up top where you'd say it is pretty loud for a street car. I would say just as loud in dB.
Maybe the Sharky noise is more like trumpet if that makes any sense, to me it sounds great and you have to option to go through the side muffler with the push of a button and it quiets down a lot.
I'll try to go drive both today, you know for evaluation... ;-)
I can't stand the artificial loud / quiet of the sport button so when I had the Sharky I unplugged the side mufflers permamently and at that point why not take the weight reduction and as we just found out HP?

haahhaha .... I have some scary video footage from Rad on the Dyno ... that's a reason why he's not posting yet.
BTW his Gayman did very well also, with 290+ WHP. Impressive.

Good to meet everyone yesterday even if I couldn't compare lap times and felt a tad weird as I kept my last car for eight years! Can't believe how quiet my stock GT3 sounded on the drive home.
Here's a quick edit of a few of the configurations, before I left, for those who can't wait for the official version.
