I'm sold that the video is an 3.0T from the 991.2... For me it is clear at the 4:21 mark... Not under braking at all...and you can hear that snail sound that I hear on my STi when the exhaust is restricted for noise levels.

Maybe the conspiracy theorist in me, but during Smokies a Porsche NA engineer gave a presentation on the development of the 4.0L and how after development, it trickled down from RSR race car to GT3. The presentation stated that it will continue to be used in several platforms including several future race cars (GT3R)... the GT4 CS wasn’t on the list.

I can't believe there is still people in the turbo camp. You guys need to play the GT2 Cup/R video before and after listening to this GT4 Clubsport. We can't be expecting the same sound as the GT3 from a de-tuned, restricted motor. I think it sounds good but not spectacular.

Riddle me this though. Why would it sound worse than the 981, when the 4l sounds amazing in the GT3? That’s what I can’t understand. And why doesn’t it rev out even remotely like the .2 GT3? It sounds entirely different, not just in terms of exhaust note but also how slowly it builds revs and the shift points. Would a particulate filter change its character that much?
I don't think it's fair to compare it to a GT3. The 981 didn't sound like the 991.1 GT3. Similar, but still different. I mean, I can look up a video of a 981 Spyder doing it's rounds on the Nurburgring and there are times when it sounds bassy and not like a screamer.

I still think from the right angle, the 718 spyder/CS you get a hint of the wail. Here's a good angle of the CS:

Compare that to here, which is that supposed N/A (to me, it's hard to tell. doesn't rev as freely) but camo'd car based on the muffler being 100% from an N/A car:

If that car is N/A as has been postulated, then that could very well be what the new standards do to a car.

The motor in the 981 GT4 and the 991.1 GT3 were very different in construction and design. This motor doesn’t sound like any Porsche I’ve ever heard, nor does it sound good. Just makes me even more curious what’s in there.

It sure sounds like it's revving enough to be NA but nobody has explained to me that absolute off throttle turbo whistle it's making...

The whistle that we hear off throttle and under braking is really the brakes. If you're hearing this elsewhere, do point me to it.
