...Through my search for a 997.1, it seemed like it was closer to half. 6-speed .1's weren't that hard to come by. ..unless I was really lucky and coming across a lot of 6-speeds during the period of my search.

Where are you getting your numbers? I am always on the lookout for good production numbers for the specialty Porsches. Mine were from Total 911 magazine, and they specifically said coupes. Of course they could be wrong too. Interesting how the total (coupes and cabs) matches though...

which in turn found it in here:
which is available in the US as well (a *bit* more expensive):
See below for the most actual copy of that title.
Currently I am looking for worldwide production numbers for the 991 GT3RS. The only thing Total 911 has published so far is 60 of them in UK. Does your source have GT cars?

3,000 manual cars out of 19,200 cars?? That means only 15.6% are manual? That sounds more like the manual percentage for a 997.2 turbo.

I read somewhere that the US is a huge bulk of the market so I wonder how many of those 19,200 cars are in the US.

About 30% come to US as I recall. EDEZ had some further breakdown on coupes/cabs, so that gets you near the 3000 7.1 TT MT.

991RS owners seem to love talking about production numbers.

Not too surprising as PDK is a proper transmission for sportscars, nothing that can be said from a gearbox with torque converter (which does not mean that this is a bad 'box in general!)
