I'm sure it's quick. But I'd prefer a slow heavy flat 6 NA to a light quick flat 4.

I hope at least the gts or something still comes NA.

Sound is important on a sports car for most enthusiast.

If one wants fast and does not care about engine sound Tesla offers a car with "Ludicrous Speed". 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds with zero driver skill required.

As much as I like the sound of a flat six nothing beats easy access to additional horsepower then a turbo' engine.

I'm with Jake on this one. The sound is all about the "hey everyone, look at me" - the mantra of most muscle cars. I love my Porsche because it is more refined, handles amazingly and has lots of power.

For me it's not about making noise for others to hear. A load exhaust is just obnoxious and juvenile. It's about what I hear while driving the car.
