Yes, you are right... I edited my post to avoid confusion.
Hate being wrong. I'm gonna double check you guys on Friday: Manual + Full throttle.
What can be the reason not to have the "boost upshift" in Manual mode?

Sport button screws up shifting and adds no benefit just whacks you on every shift, sometimes enough to upset the cars balance in a corner.
Pit speed button, too complicated and I manage to stay under 35 MPH all by myself in the pit lane.
The exhaust button does also nothing except make fake sound at idle but goes silent as soon you drive off.
I never turn of TC and ESC so all the buttons are a waste of space, absolutely useless..
Other than that, great car

"Sports Exhaust System
When the sports exhaust system is switched on, the exhaust gas backpressure in the lower and middle rpm ranges is reduced in the variable exhaust system. This produces a noticeable increase in torque in the engine speed range between approx. 3,000 and 4,000 rpm."

Right. But it does that under load at those RPM with button on or button off.
Or so I been told and if I'm wrong I can hear or feel zero difference with the button on or button off, except for at Idle.
Keep that manual handy

In the gt3 there is a difference when you use the pdk sport button while manual shifting. You can only notice the difference near redline as the car will lunge forward when shifting (doesn't do that without pdk sport).

Kobalt,
you took it out of context. If you have a closer look at the user's manual and how it is organised the part you have quoted is a sub chapter of SELECTOR LEVER POSITIONS, D-Automatic selection mode.
That sub chapter (D-Automatic selection mode) has parts: Basic setting, Switching "PDK Sport" mode on and off, Shifting gears on the steering wheel.
That's it.
Later if you continue reading there is continuing main part: M- manual selection mode where there is no mention of "PDK Sport".
To back it up I tried a couple of times driving in M mode and switching "PDK Sport" on and off. No difference at all. Go out, take a drive and objectively do this test to yourself.

Mine is the same in manual sport or no sport. Lung is caused due to the momentum of internal parts and is only experienced at close to red line. (very high throttle setting) Sport button has no difference when chosen or not if in manual.

Yep. Totally agree. Nice to find someone of similar mind All buttons useless waste of time. Too complicated and basically irrelevant.

............ I know i have given my thoughts on the RS many times before, but I'a
m still in "Shock and Awe" when it comes to this car. Yes i have driven faster,but nothing as angry and pissed off as the RS. I know its just a material item that isn't important in the grand scheme of things, but it sure can put a huge smile on my face and make me feel just a bit better everyday. I have to feel sorry for those who have purchased the RS and never drove it to turn a quick buck. The feeling it has given me back is worth more to me than money. I cant help this i was raised in a car nut family!!! Damaged for life!!!!!

If i may .. let me add my paragraph of thoughts to yours...
GT3 RS 2019...
Every ride from point A to B simply transforms into an experience of driving ecstasy and dopamine highs... riddled with uncontrolled smiles and laughter and expressions like: F-ya.. wow, damn.. sick , holly sh-t .... while being bombarded with sensory inputs of all kinds; engine sound direct from heaven, induction hiss and puffs , vibrations , g-forces... name it!
Add on top a scenic canyon road.. and you will be pretty close to Heaven.
Worth every penny for a driving enthusiast. Every Single Penny !
(With the most Most useless option being the stereo equipment.... not because it sound bad but because , imo, its a crime to turn it on )
