i have been driving cars longer than you have been alive, as im sure most members on here have. look, your passion is commendable but you simply do not have the experience to form an informed opinion regarding these topics. most of your posts read as a child has written them, wonder why?
try to read more and post less, you might just earn some respect.

Which is why it will be named "The new 2013 Porsche Sanner".

Very exciting excerpt from an Automobile:

So excited for flat 6 power!
Fighting Ferrari with a flat six
An earlier proposed Ferrari fighter from Zuffenhausen was a closer kin to the 918 Spyder, with a carbon fiber structure, and was to be powered by a twin-turbo V-8. But Porsche decision-makers were not happy with this high-end pitch, so now, with the 960, we’re looking at a more mundane materials mix and a twin-turbo 3.8-liter boxer six, which should be good for 600 hp and 555 pound-feet of torque. Why go for a six when your target car is fitted with a V-8? Because the flat six is more compact, helps to lower the center of gravity, is more efficient as well as slightly cheaper to build, and it offers that unique Porsche touch. Likely offered in both coupe and roadster guise, the 960 will be priced on the high side of 200,000 Euro when it debuts in September 2015.

As an aside from the petty arguments, I'm amazed that you're 14 from the quality of your Photoshop work. Very impressive stuff, and even more so given your young age.
Carry on!
Carry on!

I'm sure Porsche will offer a manual, it will set them apart from the competition since the 458 Italia, MP4-12C, LP570-4 Superleggera and R8 GT are all paddleshift only. Can't wait to see what this car will look like
