Respectfully, I think you guys are both wrong.
Porsche now understands the crazy demand generated by good NA GT drivers cars, with huge demand for all three and EVO car of the year awards for the GT3 and GT4. They know of the huge worldwide demand for a manual GT car as they were surprised by GT4 demand.
They can spend a minimal amount of R&D $ from VW(which needs to conserve cash), slightly tweak all thre engines to produce 15 more HP in each car, add a manual GT3 option, and they call sell 10,000 .2 generation GT cars (GT4, GT3, RS) without breaking a sweat.

There isn't an huge demand for the next GT3 to be manual
opposite is true the huge demand is for PDK-S

Bingo, those .2 GT cars are already done and R&D'ed...they see the good demand for all the GT cars. Hopefully they'll spend the next 1-2 years to get their suppliers teed up and their production capacity ready to pump out GT cars. Don't worry turbo lovers, they'll also sell either a .2GT2 and/or .2GT2RS along with the NA GT line up. They need to start bringing in as much $$$$ as they can for VW.

In my opinion, the 991 GT3 is too easy to go fast in. It's not a race car, it's an easy track weapon. Race cars (with their natural set-up, suspension, etc.) are difficult to drive fast.

PDK is not a sequential gearbox. It does not resemble any of the race car transmissions you cite.

Same type of transmission on the 991 Cup Cars as the RSR. They are sequentials with a pnuematic paddle shift system. The system or one similar has been implemented on several 997 Cup Cars in PCA Club Racing.

What will the 991.2 GT3 look like is a very interesting question. On one hand VW will be looking to generate and save every single penny it can. Porsche will most likely be asked to amp up sales and profits while containing costs. That bodes well for a NA car both with PDK and MT since both are doable with minimum R&D. So get a few more HP and bingo a .2 GT3 and sales for the group. On the other hand I have to think that VW will be pressed to be model citizen when it comes to emissions, thus a clear case for Turbo engines. It will be interesting meetings in the corporate board trying to decide which route to take. I lean towards a small run of NA units before a quick change to turbo GT3s.
