I've listened to Youtube videos of the 981 Cayman GTS which sounds great on power but then has this popping and banging on overrun.

I'm not a fan of that sound, especially when the engine under power sounds so good.

I went to the Nurburgring recently with my 911, and was impressed but with a manual and with that rear engine I had to really concentrate. I was overtaken at one point by a crazy brit (UK number plate) in a white M2 who dived inside me approaching a very fast corner and had to wipe a lot of speed off and he got himself all crossed up and I thought he was a goner, but it all sorted out in the end and he made it round.

They do look good those M2's, and look a great handling car.

I'm thinking about maybe chopping my 911 and going for an M2 as a daily driver and great all rounder, but it won't replace my Z4MC as a thrill a second drivers car! :)
this mapped in fake popping and banging thing is so s**t.... but the public like it , you only need to view SHMEE150 videos to see his reaction to ANYTHING that pops and bangs, give me a highly tuned engine that does this naturally and unintended any day, not your everyday mini cooper S etc etc
Amen to this Byron. I thought I was in a minority of one on this! I can remember seeing a video on the Autocar website of the Boxster or Cayman GTS and the fake pops were ridiculous. So unnecessary because that engine is a peach.
