Hi bbinder,
While I don't have a direct comparison between a 997 to a G50 coupe, I can share with you my experience with the following vehicles:
- 2004 Porsche 996 C2 (my current daily driver)
- 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo (t-top)
- 1988 Toyota MR2 Supercharged (t-top)
- 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider (convertible)
I would say my 996 is the quietest of them all, and I've got the what I think is called the valvetronic factory system (quiet/loud setting.) I can confidently say it is great for long drives. I'm sure the 997 will fare just as well, if not, better.
Despite both my Toyota MR2s having been modified, they were loud, so not a fair comparison, but my experience with the stock form of the two generation of MR2s were quiet, yet I feel that 996 comes out top for long drives and road noise.
