Great video!

He talks about manual vs PDK. Also talks about the lumbar support mod and the seat tilt mod on the LWB seats.

It was a very good video, especially for the manual lovers here. He does stroke the flames lol.

Perfect spec imo. If i ever decide to upgrade, that is the way i would go.

I was shocked to see this announcement. It makes sense what he is doing, especially following his Modern Classic Series. Glad to see that he picked up a manual.

However, he did spec his original GT3 perfectly. Sad to see his perfect spec go (the Miami blue GT3)... Certainly hope he swapped the Sharkwerks for the OEM before trading.

When I was presented the opportunity to pick up a new 991.2 at MSRP I really didnt care which transmission it came with. I could be happy with either.😁

due to strange government restrictions , OEM cage is NOT allowed in USA and is not an option on the order form. we would LOVE to have to roll cage otherwise

In the UK winged manuals have dropped massively in value. It wouldn’t surprise me to be bought this a good amount under msrp.
