One thing I am a little worried about is that the M2 is not going to be loud enough. Even my brother's 991 GTS was not loud enough, hehe! The GT4 is a loud car when you get up there in the mid-range, with the PSE button on. And it sounds so beautiful in tunnels.... 
That's ok... I was't expecting it to be like the GT4 in the sound dept. But it will be fun doing a few mods to the M2.
Reminds me, I do want to hear a GT350R one day if possible. Another current car I really like from what I've seen... |
Csbear, for you and those like you who are hoping for a very loud experience in the M2, I think you can rejoice in the sound measurements of the M2 under acceleration. Although at a constant highway speed, it is not much louder than a typical luxury sports sedan, under acceleration I think we can expect to be significantly louder.
C&D measured the M2 at 89 db at "wide open throttle". For comparison, it measured the BMW 340i at 76 db, a difference of 13 db. From the world of acoustics we know that a sound which is 13 db louder than another is approximately 125% louder, or more than double the loudness!
C&D also measured your reference, the Cayman GT4 at 90 db, which is almost the same loudness as the M2 (89 db)
Speaking for myself, this suits me just fine because I prefer a car which is quiet for normal rides, but much louder when I want to have some fun.
