Default 991.2 GT3 RS... PDK or Manual? what would you buy?

Hey Guys,

This is in response to Porsche stating that RS guys don't want a manual. I thought it would be a good idea to get everyone's response on the matter. I Personally would love a 991.2 GT3 RS with a manual option.

What would you order?

With the RS being track focused, per Preuninger video for the GT3 and comparing MT vs PDK, the PDK will get you the fastest around the track....ergo, RS will only come with PDK

Yes.. but that's not the question. The question is what would you buy if it were an option.

Not to be a spoiler, but I'm shocked that on THIS forum the results are as 'balanced' as they are.

Edit: Nevermind! LOL (I thought I was on the 997GT3 forum)

I hope Porsche will listen to some of these polls. Not every "RS" guy is a motorsports/track only guy looking for the fastest lap times. I think there is definitely a market for a Manual RS for the Porsche "driving" enthusiast.

PDK-S, even if it means being ridiculed by guys who feel like "performance drivers" shifting manual gears at random without rhyme or reason (2nd gear goes to illegal speeds, and 3rd gear gets you to suicide speeds on most roads, so there is no "performance" reason to shift, just fuel savings or to feel good)

What's wrong with feeling good?

Reason I buy the darn things in the first place. Certainly not to get to work faster!
