The following is hypothetical, of course. Especially fictional for law enforcement officers..
There is a guy who I see every day going to work on PCH & the 105 in a black 996TT with a nice exhaust. Today, we both hit the 105 on ramp at the same time- it goes uphill and has a nice s-curve in it before straightening out onto the elevated highway. He gets on it and I follow. He took notice and we both slalomed the curves at around 90 MPH. I kept pulling gears, but hit traffic. I was doing around 130 MPH at this time. The turbo was well past 140 MPH & I lost sight of him after I had to slow down. I want one. Or a 348. I don't know.

I'd go for the turbo, hypothetically speaking of course.
As much as I like the 348, I like the Turbo more.

I expect she would get me in a hell of a lot of trouble.

So, speaking of balls...
Bearings or brakes? The Toyota is making funny sounds, but it almost seems like I can make it go away with heavy foot pressure. Depends on the speed. Starting to get annoying. Oh yeah, yanking on the e-brake doesn't do much, except slow it down drastically.

Does the noise change or go away when you turn at speed?

That's kind of hard to answer so far. Surrounding's have not lent well to test for that.

well you can always jack the car up and run it, put a long screwdriver against the hubs and the handle in your ear and listen. (redneck stethoscope) Or simply turn the radio up.

I need to rotate the tires, so I was thinking about that... Yeah, I have been turning the radio up.
