Count me in. My 2017 C4S with manual gearbox is being offloaded from the Mediterranean Highway in San Diego. I should see it in a week or so.

Congratulations guys, you are part of the 20% who still row their gears. All of us with PDK have had MT and graduated to the faster cars like formula 1 men.

Yes, indeed. Never had an automatic of any kind.

I suggest you go for a self driving Tesla. Perfect for tampon runs for the wife lol
Sorry couldn't resist but shots were fired from the other side first lol. Even if it's quicker I guarantee its not as fun.. I like to be involved in the driving aspect. I will say the McLaren 12C is a whole different story, Wouldn't want to try to manually shift that. Lol

I am a manual guy but think about this from Porsche's point of view - if they don't offer a manual then they can't charge all that extra green for the PDK - do you really think that the PDK costs them more to build?

You can pry my shifter out of my cold, dead hand.

Manual GTS. Had a DCT (PDK) M3 before this Porsche. DCT is nice and fast but boring and you do feel "less connected".

I have a Porsche 911 1974 and rebuilding engine. Having issues on the Camshaft Timing. Intake Value travel from Z-1 360 degrees back to Z-1 I have conflict readings from different manuals. One manual recommends .165 and the other manual is giving me .028 inches on the dial indicator. Need help!!!! very confusing...

If it's for fun, it has three pedals. I couldn't find a cab with 7MT, hard as I tried - but maybe it's for the better.
