For me, the most interesting stat is the 6MT vs PDK. I believe AP mentioned in one of the videos I've seen that he argued with PAG to keep the 6MT alive with the GT models and PAG resisted but ultimately gave him a chance and as it turns out, I recall him saying that the GT models (718 and 911) have a take rate of about 75% which is inline with what I'm seeing here.
PDK only available 2021 onward, so pie charts skewed with 2020 manual only. Unless this is all 2021 and onward data…

Correct as this is all data points so 2020 was forced to be 6MT. I didn't break down my data sheet by MY but either way, it seems that the data matches what AP said. I suppose there is a way for me to extrapolate the MY21 data based on delivery date but that would be too much work.
Nice job! I would appreciate it if we can have a total count of different models, #s of spyder, GT4, BGTS/CGTS4.0, etc. btw, this is from the Non-PTS database, yes?

The chart still shows manual is the more popular option. Everyone knew PDK was coming out so anyone who was a diehard PDK fan only had to wait for 2021s and many did just that. With similar production numbers albeit a bit lower in 2021 than 2020, you'd think there'd be far more PDK's sold in 2021 than manuals in 2021, especially with all the people holding off until PDK is available, but it seems to be only about half that were sold were PDK. Meaning that if PDK was offered right from the start it the numbers of PDK cars would still likely be far less than the manuals. Very interesting.
Will be interesting to see what happens with 992 GT3s also. I wonder if 992 GT3's will have more manuals sold vs PDK than 991.2's.
Well, I downloaded your database and plotted the raw count of all the 718 4.0 engine models. Here is the plot:
It seems like a good number of 718 4.0 owners registered their car build to your database.

LOL! You beat me to it by like seconds. What are the odds?
11 people with GTS 4.0 - I guess the couldn’t decide? Thanks for the stats guys!
LOL! It's not really that they couldn't decide but many times, the data entered into the spreadsheet is from me reading the forums and people providing random info here and there about their builds. In those cases, I add their info to the spreadsheet but when they don't clarify if it's a Cayman or Boxster GTS 4.0, I simply enter it as GTS 4.0. As I learn if it's a Cayman or Boxster, I update accordingly.
Obviously this does not align with dealer allocations for the various models. I don’t know the allocation numbers, but surely there are more BGTS and CGTS allocations than GT4s and Spyders but the data suggests otherwise. So perhaps the data also indicates a higher level of enthusiasm to participate in the forum by GT4 and Spyder owners.
However, as one of the 6.8% BGTS 4.0 (almost) owners, I can tell you that I am way more excited to be receiving this car than my 992 C2S.

Bar charts do make it easier to understand the data quicker.
