Sounds very deep and angry on tick over revs

Hi. I started a tread about track day noise for a 981 Spyder but have had no replies. Thought i would try this tread - although not strictly the correct one. Sorry.

Has anyone had any noise issues with their Spyder - especially at Brands Hatch (or know what the Static and Drive By figures are). Thanks.

Hi Chris have you seen this post off Rennlist

Not mine unfortunately. The exhaust was a custom arrangement by Mike Edwards Motorsport near London. The owner tells me it reduced UK track static test (75% max revs tested at 45 degrees from exhaust outlet at 1 metre distance) to 92db from I guess 101/102db.

Ha ha, I posted this moons ago on Cayman or Trackday section of this forum and later put it up on rennlist also. Surprised my photobucket account hasn’t been cancelled after all the threats they keep sending me.

Thanks. Dont think i have a cats chance of meeting the 98dBA rating for the BH trackday i was looking at.

PS. Came across this on Porsche France: Unusual colour but 120,000 Euro!. I know they have high taxes, this this seems a little steep.

Nice PTS colour despite the hefty price tag today []

The Speedster is now open for orders but despite the similar roof, similar side glass, similar front screen, similar hinged rear panel, similar fixing to screen rail and rear deck I think the designers did a cleaner looking job on the Spyder streamliners with far less shut lines [&:]

Agreed.

As an aside, I assume there is some luggage storage space on the Speedster where the rear seats would usually be?

I think the space where the seats were is now occupied by the roof and immediately behind the front seats is the rear bulk head which carries the limited production number plaque between the front seats and on the bulk head

I think this big fat ugly Speedster is an affront to the original concept and then an imposter in the GT department. An emporer with no clothes for the speculators and poseurs who will never drive them. Give me a humble 987 or 981 Spyder anyday.

So, I was tested at Brands Hatch yesterday at 99dBA for anyone interested

So that is similar figures to my post above regarding the modified exhaust on the GT4 []

The exhaust was a custom arrangement by Mike Edwards Motorsport near London. The owner tells me it reduced UK track static test (75% max revs tested at 45 degrees from exhaust outlet at 1 metre distance) to 92db from I guess 101/102db.

Interesting twist in the tail to our Spyder style roof on the 991 Speedster[8D]

That’s quite trick! Wonder if the 718 will follow suit?

 

[jdpef356]

Would look much nicer colour coded

Perfect day to go out for a fun run in the sun [8D]
