If you want an absolutely blindingly fast car to drive, that's what the Turbo is for, not the GT3. |
I wish they would do the sequential. The entire world would change on them. Plus, there would be no shift mistakes and warranty claims because of driving mistakes, which might be why they are heavily considering the PDK. You can't over rev the motor and jack up the clutch disc, and all that as well. Let's face it, tons of people will buy the GT3, including me, whether is has a PDK or manual. But the Seq Tranny would be a whole diff ball game. That many would want to play. sequentialshifters.com Glock Guru has one of these in his 3.8, and it is bad ass. So do some guys in Florida. |

Ferrari has gone from manual, Lambo too. I know that Porsche is not in the same box with Italians, but I keep hearing from GT3 owners how they are impressed with 458 Italia transmission. For me PDK (and automatic in general) is opposite philosophy to GT3. Its not problem to put PDK in GT3, but that just doesn't go together :( You cant put 20" performance wheels on Prius - I mean you can, but that is just silly. |

PDK if you are racing someone else. 6MT if you are racing yourself. I'd pass on saving a few tenths of a second when it means more fun. |
