I generally like Prior's reviews. Why do the Brit's review cars the best haha?

"The last GT3’s single-mass flywheel made for a noisy idle,
Porsche admits. The new 2017 one ticks over much
more smoothly, thanks to that dual-mass flywheel
on the manual model."

"Shocker" huh!!?? . I do not think there will be any surprises. Just subtle differences. When the test the "Manual" you know the will rave ect.. I am expecting the manual to be like the GT4 which would be hard to improve. I just hope the clutch is not light/or too easy to engage. I think the clutch on the GT4 is perfect and, if heavier, would not mind
