BTW, if anyone is in the market for a TTS, Stevens Creek has a super low mile used '15 on their floor that is just awesome. GTSilver with the right wheels (5 lug/5 spokes) and very nice options. Only downer for me was it has 14 ways and the MF steering wheel. Other than that it's a perfect TTS build.

The second generation of the 997 turbo was PDK only for the Turbo S, while the regular Turbo was offered in both manual and PDK, however only 4% of 997.2 regular Turbo customers choose the manual, so I expect Porsche eliminated the manual for all 991 Turbos for both financial and mechanical reasons.

It's also possible Porsche eliminated the turbo manual because as I mentioned in the other turbo thread, while there are a few fantastic serious driving enthusiasts that own Turbos, these customers are a much, much lower percentage of Turbo owners compared to GT owners(if it's their only sport car).......maybe the 4% I mentioned above?????, so far fewer customers clamoring for a Turbo manual compared to a GT3 manual.

Was just on their website. For that listing, they have 3 terrible photos of the car and 17 photos of the dealership!
