Very awkward analogy

 

Lack of manual transmission doesn't bother me the way the cars have gone .
They are too digital now , like a 458 ; it just wouldn't work .
It's a pity but the Nissan gtr ( probably unintentionally ) killed the Supercar as we know it or at the very least put the last nail in its coffin .

 

Well chosen words..but I agree. But to make the story complete, the Nissan GTR - the one who gave us the nail for the coffin - will also go to its grave soon...Nissan isnt making any from it. You can guess what will happen soon..- or at least will be very likely..

What an irony in itself..

Thats why I believe the real "drivers" supercars will go up in value..the only question is when..

PS: Im thinking on a GT3 CUP for now..not a manual either (no problem for me)..but still raw enough..

 

Can you imagine how many orders with manual gearbox Ferrari would have , if it was a possible option ?
Anyone has information about how many 991 are ordered with manuel gearbox vs pdk?

 

I dunno... Ferrari's have high revving F1 transmissions that are better suited to DCT's and paddles. I wouldn't order my 458 with a manual but I would order a Mercedes AMG with a manual if that ever came around...

 

80:20 for Pdk in Germany on the 991..for boxster and caymen the share of manual is higher..but in the US the share of manual in 991 is higher..

coming to the ferrari..gt3 customers are not necessarily 458 customers...Ce n´est pas la meme chose...

bonne nuit,

 

Yes but I think that if the choice is available more gt3 will be prdered in PDK .
I m a great fan of gt3 espacially RS , i have had 2 different , but honnestly the gearbox on the gt3 rs is precise but too much slow , very difficult to be quick in gear change without to be violent ....
It is not possible to have a cup sequential gearbox on a road car , due to maintenance costs .
So ' m waiting to try the gt3 PDK and hope that it will be a new experienc ,very different compare to the normal 991

 

well i have always been one for the manual and always will. however, i had an eye opening experience by getting to drive my buddies 991S with aerokit on the the track today. atlanta motorsports park is a short technical track with no real straight away, so HP doesnt really matter there. my best time ever has been a 1:29 on ra1's in my RS.
I hop in his car and do 1:31.7 after only 3 laps with room for more. his car is bone stock with only an alignment and michelin supersports. i was so shocked after the 3rd lap, i just brought it in back to the pits. so now i can only imagine how fast the 3 and the RS will be with PDK.
i still love my manual and wont be getting rid of it anytime soon, but i see why porsche has made the switch

 

I have very high expectations for new GT2 RS with almost 700 hp paired with ultra fast PDK!

 

So now we know !!
The new turbo is there and is 28 mm wider than a wider carrera 4 .
The GT3 RS will be 28 mmwider compare to a GT3
