I don't think it's possible to match the awesome exhaust note of the current NA GT4 because the turbos alone quiet it down significantly.
You haven't heard the right Subarus. I've heard plenty of amazing-sounding WRXs and STIs.

Tell me more about this variable compression engine.

Not sure you guys have seen this GT4 review so I thought I'd share it.
http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...an-gt4-review/
They go on to say:
"Porsche’s next-generation turbo engines, just around the corner, will deliver more power and achieve better fuel efficiency (the GT4 is 15 percent worse than the Cayman GTS on the European cycle), but they won’t give you goosebumps like this engine does."
Guys, I'll tell you a little secret...."I Love Goosebumps."

To be honest with you, that was never a secret.

Remains to be seen if Porsche will actually put this variable compression technology into a production car, and if so, when.
