News Flash:
The current Carrera S is as fast around the ring as the old GT3(I dont believe it I believe it's faster!)
So based on that assumption the new GT3 will beat up the old one pretty badly and the new GT3 with PDK will beat them both up even worse. This isnt opinion this is just pure and simple educated, obvious Porsche engineering.
Stay tuned, WE ALLL KNOW it will be much faster. Better? Well all realtive and I say there is a Porsche 911 for every era and every type of buyer. The one thing that remains constant is that for every generation the 911 is still something special comapred to what else is out there

I`ve been bringing up this idea here on TS numerous times and always got some contra on it...
"too expensive to develop" "would not work" etc.
I think this would be great!
They could still use a PDK but make it act/feel like a sequential,tweak the gearing a bit and make some software gaga to make it work in slow traffic as well and put a nice stick in the car

The GT3 is going to be growing out of its own shoes! The new 991 is huge. Moreover, an electrical handbrake, start-stop and electromechanical steering does not belong in a GT3 - Porsche, you better get rid of it.
That said, I will probably be amazed by the 991 GT3 as soon as it arrives.
