    Have to say one of the most balance exciting cars I've ever owned. I owned a 2008 Cayman S and it was just incredible to drive. I installed a Fabspeed exhaust with electronic valves and the sound was incredible. I would only listen to the radio when the car was sitting still. Other than that it was the exhaust, motor and transmission was all I wanted to hear. Just listening to the motor right behind you was like music. Going through the gears was never boring. Regret to this day that I got rid of it.

    Hey Topher a question for you! Do they sound as good compared to 981 GT4 or even 981 GTS (which I've found to sound better than 981 GT4 only because I like pops)?
    Additionally, how does it sound compared to the GT3? In terms of pitch and volume (I'm assuming GT3 is higher pitched and louder, but by how much)
    I'm so conflicted between which of these 3 cars to go for or keep...I'm a big sound guy. If the car doesn't sound good i just can't get into it no matter the speed (like a 570s, could not enjoy it..)

    the 718 is a difficult car to review and do justice to on the street ... Doing anything legal in a 718 is just a waste of time... you might as well just take a nap, it's about as exciting. It's like taking a plane for a review but just taxing around on the runway without ever getting into the air.

    Skips to B roll whenever you go -above- the speed limit ;)

    I like the solo videos better, someone riding along is a distraction.
