The car def. sounds amazing for sure; and yes it is a real shame it lacks a true manual. I'm actually a fan of paddle-shifters, but not on a car like this.

If the regular GT3 shifts at 9k, what the hell is the GT3RS going to shift at?

Chris is still very disappointed that it doesn't come with a manual though. I think it would be the ultimate troll move if Porsche releases a GT3 RS with a manual transmission option, lol. While very unlikely, they would get a lot of new 991 GT3 owners selling and moving onto the more expensive RS.

Note, Chris said philosophically he would like to see manual but factually the PDK is the way to go. Also he said on the same road the previous 997.2 GT3 was a lot of work....and not in a good way!
