Default 7spd MT GT3 - disappointed?

By now we all know the .2 GT3 is coming with an MT but I haven't heard 100% confirmation that it is definitely a 6 MT vs a 7 MT. Please correct me if I'm wrong of course.

That said - if it were to be a 7 MT, would that upset anyone and sway their decision towards getting it in PDK? Would it ultimately matter?

6 speed nice
7 speed you will see lots engines blowing up b/c most ppl just can't shift right. and they will miss the gate and kaboom. you watch.

This is like clickbait thread titling. There's like 10 other threads this could be discussed in. Why even waste cycles worrying about something there's been zero hinting at over the past year+ when it's 2 days from the info being released?

Don't over-think it - Manual will be same as one in 911R (6spd with same ratios to match the high redline)

The 7spd would need expensive gearing mods (at minimum) to work - not gonna happen...

if i have to choose: i would choose 7speed. with 1st gear down-below in the pattern. (honestly)

but this would be the overkill for the manual-hipsters.

Sorry folks not meant to be click bate, I'm not selling any ads or getting anything out of this other than discussion

Was an honest question/thought. I would prefer the 6spd , but will of course be interesting to see what they come up with. The easiest would be to transplant the Rs MT, but you never know how they'd want to protect the R.

6 spd for me if I decide to go the MT route. PAG has already done the trials with the R.
