HEARD a porsche today..........................

First time ever, could have sworn it was either a Tamora or a Tuscan, definately a TVR S6.
But no, looked up and ther was this silver (obviously) 911 bumbling up the street.

Have porsche owners finally got the point?

All sound like hairdriers to me - sorry!

some of the Later Turbo models or Carrera 4's can sound quite raspy and burble quite nicely. There are a couple around my way but they definately dont have the distinctive TIV sound. They do sound quite nice at chat though IMO.

ALL sixes sound gorgeous and that of a normally aspirated 911 is one of the most evocotive and distinctive. In fact any 'multiple of three' produce something uniquely musical: Tripples, Sixes, Twelves - not to mention 9 and 18 cylinder radials. Remember the throb from a Laverda Jota.........ooh luverly

nope. most flat 6s i've heard sound like tyres rolling along the road

however I do recall once hearing a very lovely sounding late 80s 911 turbo with what sounded almost like a V8 exhaust note prowling through a motorway services car park.
