If a proper 6MT is offered, I couldn't pass on it.

I'm not interested in more power or more nannies and weight. Just a proper GT3 borne of the past Porsche philosophy.

Make them in numbers and people will come. Look at all 991 GT3s for sale. The 997 and 996 cars more than pale in comparison in for sale numbers.

GT3 (at least expectetions)
= close to best in class components
so the MT a proper one!

(not the GT4 6MT long geared
nor the heavy weight 7MT pdk derived mounted on base 991)

Quick Cars.com search: 43 997 (all years, GT3 & RS), 52 991 (all years, GT3 & RS). I think the gap is wider if one does a thoroughly comprehensive search.

One point in time doesn't qualify as any significant argument but this for sale scenario has been going on for a while. A lot of 997 RS cars have found their "collector" homes or a true "enthusiast" home. In both cases the owners aren't likely letting go. In my opinion anyway.

i am not familiar with Quick Cars.com
but here we have the most used european website
that is showing a lot of 991 RS on sale by first time speculators for 100k over MSRP
i doubt will be sold and most of them are just fake duplicated allocations
but worth to note is logic that a car still in production like GT3 RS and GT3 until few weeks ago
is more advertised to be sold (regardless the speculators of course)

This is such a good question. I love MT and I'm gonna trade down to a Boxster Spyder for a bit to hopefully get more involvement at road speeds. The main two things that give that are the drop top and the MT (plus lighter weight, skinnier tyres, better balance, non-PASM lowered suspension). I'm gonna go back to a 3 or RS for next gen and right now I'm not sure what I'd do. More involvement with MT for sure but you can't enjoy the engine as much. And the engine DEFINES this car.

PDK

Who would want a manual transmission in a new big luxo 911 nowadays?
like rowing the gears in a grand marquis during traffic.

My 2 previous Porsche's were both manual (996 and 997 turbos). I love the involvement of the MT but the PDK is faster and more addictive in kick in the back changes. I just viewed the Chris Harris comparison between the 918, P1 and La Ferrari and there were no MT. Have we moved on?
