Default Traded my 2019 RS for a new GT3 Manual - Carmine Red

As the title says I decided to sell my Chalk 2019 RS after 5 months. Absolutely loved the car but wanted to try something different, and couldn't be happier with my Carmine Red GT3 Manual. The car that made me fall in love with Porsche was my first 2007 GT3 in manual and this is the biggest smile i've had driving in a long time. Both cars I purchased from Porsche South Orlando and couldn't be happier with my experiences. I drive my GT cars almost daily and it was refreshing going back into a GT3 after back to back RS's, for sure the ride us much smoother for a daily driver. Couldn't be happier with my decision.
Thank you

Yeah, that too (but I figured was implied)

great choice. RS is an RS, but GT3 manual for the street is very entertaining to drive at any speed.

true. kind of envious of the OP. I love my RS but miss the stick and third pedal of my GT3 sooooo much.

Great color and choice. I wanted a RS but no PTS and no manual made my choice very easy. GT3 manual seems like a great choice for daily driving and some track.

many like you doing the same thing.. including youtubers like MRJWW for example and many on Rennlist. Thanks to porsche understanding the value we see in manuals, the enjoyment, it will be awhile before they are gone, even if today they are obsolete.

Enjoy and try not to miss any shifts or crunch 2nd gear synchro..:

manual transmission is fun fun until it's not...

That was mean. Sorry

i had a lovely 2017 Shelby GT350 flat crank and loved every bit of it except the 4-5 gear shift was always a little crunchy from day 1... couldn't deal with that and got rid of it...

also so had an awesome 2007 997S and one time in an over enthusiastic shift crunched the 2nd gear synchro and transmission was never the same after that...and had to have it rebuilt at 15k miles...

ever since have soured on manual transmissions...

my current favorite is the Ferrari F1 single clutch on F430 and 2009 Maserati gran Turismo S... very responsive and shift can be modulated by how you use throttle and timing of shift...
love it... old school and emotional...

pdk is a little too perfect in the .2 RS but by playing with throttle during up and down shift you can also modulate shift quality ... can even heel and toe it during downshift..:

Can't deal with vagaries of a money shift on a manual anymore...

Agreed. I do need seat time in earlier models too.
