Definitely not true. Porsches have gotten quieter and quieter with every model revision because of strict European noise restrictions. They are in fact so quiet now that one of the chief complaints of most late model Porsche owners is that the exhaust is too quiet. One of first mods done by most guys is an aftermarket exhaust. It was the first thing I did on my 996 and again the first thing I did on my 997S. Also, contrary to what you would think, 997s come with some pretty decent systems these days. My 997S has the Bose option and surprisingly, it sounds pretty damn good. It actually has a sub that hits harder than the ML sub in my GS.

Eh, they are pretty good on performance. Sound system in the 996TT (2002) had some wicked bass though for stock, great rock sessions in those. Unless you go for GT3 or GT2 (GT3's are sold out for at least next 6 months, The RS's are already all spoken for last I heard), you won't have distinguished yourself from your comrades. Now those sound good, so do CGT's, love seeing those running around and at the track.
But which Porsche would you trade for? Because only a true baller would go for at least a 997 Turbo :sarcasm:
Be careful, bragging will surely you get knocked a peg, at least at my college there is always someone with a way nicer car.

paid cash...im a first year lawyer but i actually worked for 5 years (i graduated college early and started early) working for a mortgage company, and made over 300k my first year. I actually decided to go to law school b/c 1)got a full ride and 2) i wanted to find something more intellectually stimulating and challenging no offense but that is the truth. =)
