Many of the water cooled Mezger sounds are similar to my aircooled hot rod, to the extent that sometimes I forget the GT3 isn't aircooled. I haven't driven a 996 GT3, but I have ridden in several at an autocross. Personally I think the step up to the 997.2 GT3 is very much worth the money, as the extra torque and better engine sound is very noticeable.

The 997.2 is far more refined than the 996. If it’s in ones budget and something grand touring is what you want, it is a better car. But better is subjective. Some people like the more visceral nature of the 996, to steal vaive’s word of the day.
