No 6 speed in the GT3. Ugh.

Well, not a proper clutch anyway. I understand that the PDK is faster. It will make drivers faster. The car will be faster. But its moving a massive step away from a drivers car. No skill required, my 4 year old would be able to downshift rev match as fast as Michael Schumacher. That sucks. Maybe my age is showing, but I am really disappointed that Porsche is really truly going to do it without a 6 speed. Ugh.
PS. The interior is FAR too refined for my tastes. Is there a butler that serves you coffee from the cavernous interior as well?

I know it's been awhile for this thread, but sorry to disagree with you about the warranty. My 2015 "F" engine threw a rod through the top of the block - size of my hand. PCNA covered it. They replaced the engine with a new "G" motor. I was candid with them as to the location and circumstances as to how the engine blew. They reassured me that the warranty would cover it and in fact I was told that Porsche does understand that their customers will and do take their cars to the track. When I mentioned the part about the warranty not valid if the car was at the track I was told it merely meant if an owner did an over rev (money shift) or if the car was modified in some way that caused the problem, the warranty would not cover it.
