Default .2 GT3 PDK vs MT for non flippers

Not that we could find out this data point but think it would be interesting of all the people that GOT an allocation (doesn’t matter ADM or MSRP) AND that are actually keeping their cars and not selling them or flipping them what percent is manual vs PDK? The actual owners, not speculators or flippers. Not a MT vs PDK debate just curious the % and how that would sway. Also not a MT vs PDK were produced data point. The data of people keeping them that were the original owners.

My guess, only a guess, is the actual % would be higher for PDK of the people that are keeping their cars and had/have no intention on selling them. I think the amount of MT’s we are seeing is a product of speculation and the R and because the market isn’t bearing huge pay outs for the speculator and flippers that is why it appears that way more MT’s are for sale.

Yes....I've always thought more MT's for sale because they're expected to get a higher premium vs a PDK.....time will tell on the "value" of one vs the other....

Ordered mine to keep, and got PDK. Never considered the 6MT, although if I were planning on flipping that's what I would have gotten.

On another note I also got sofas because I'm too bulky for the buckets, and because I plan do drive it a ton and bring the kids in it from time to time which isn't an option with buckets. Again, if I had bought for flipping I would have gotten the buckets.

I wasn't aware that such a consumer exists.

Had I gotten an allocation I would have done the same. PDK, 18 ways and PCCB's, among other bloated options to drive up the MSRP.

Yeah mine ended up at a little over $182k. A couple of K in fluff options, but who cares. You only live once, and stripper cars aren't my thing. No ragrets!

Keeping my PTS PDK-S.

I have an awesome GT4 for the manual and "driver's car" fix.

If I specced my own, it would have been MT6 to drive.

Got an allocation that I configured exactly the way I wanted. Had been driving on tracks doing DE with a 6 speed manual for 16 years. Configured the GT3 with PDK, will keep it a long, long, time.

I thought this was a poll, with the caveats you mentioned? Had an actual allocation to be configured, keeping the car, what transmission?

If someone were planning on flipping the car from day one, I think MT, iron brakes and buckets would have been spec'd. Of course that explains why there are many of those for sale, which adds pressure to pricing.

Zero intention to sell it anytime soon (hopefully keep it forever). Had I wanted a PDK, I think I would have gone RS this time around.
