Re: 991 spy shots
Carrara:
Check this out from the June issue of flat6:
Porsche speaking: "We know that the PSE on the 997.2 isn't the best. There is very little difference in sound with the standard exhaust. The fault lies with the noise reduction standards which we've had to adhere to and which changed between Phase 1 and Phase 2 [997.1 vs. 997.2]. But since, we've found a way to get very good results these new standards. You will see that on the 991, PSE will be excellent"
"The 991 is very pretty. It's a pure 911 and even if it is slightly larger in dimension you will find it as compact as the 997 when driving. We have worked the weight aspect a lot on this new generation".Thanks to rennlist for the find and translation!
I agree on the need for a better PSE. I was surprised and disappointed by the PSE on the GTS when I drove one a couple of weeks ago. I have PSE on my 997.1 C4S - it sounds loud and aggressive, much better. Perhaps PSE "matures" over time??
