    GT3 ClubSport. It is road legal.

    Uppsss yeah I know about the CLUBSPORT VERSION (sorry about that) , I know the clubsport version option (which I think they don't charge for it)

    But that specific gt3, has a special RS wing style, and DEFINATELY that sound is not from a base 996gt3mk2 clubsport version, that is more of a cup car I think!, we only have to listen and see the vid, even when we are onboard the 430, there is no ferrari sound, we only hear the porsche!!!!, its insane!!!!!!!

    That sound is what is driving me mad!!!! I love it!!!

    I would think that if it wasn't a stock Clubsport, it was probably lightly modified and still road legal. I don't think they would compare a car that's street legal to one that isn't.

    I felt the same way about the sound. I almost fell over when I heard it. I agree, I prefer the sound to the 430.

    I believe it was a titanium exhaust (not just the tip but the entire housing is in titanium and weights only 5kg instead of 50kg) made by i.Mec Japan. Nice but expensive exhaust.

    Please visit http://www.imec.co.jp/

    The price is around $8000. But weight is only "half" of genuine's.

    Hope this help you.

    8k $ that is really expensive, they are in the same price as the kreissieg exahust, but I think that this imec.co.jp, sound even better, this is the best porsche sound I've ever heard!!!!! it really is!!!!!

    Some mods would explain how it kept up with the F430. I mean I thought it might just have been that the F430 is slower than I thought, but F430 smoked the tuned Gallardo at the top end and launch.
