Jethro Bovingdon Manual 991.1GT3RS vs.997.2RS vs.997.1RS model evolution vid review

Hey Guys. Just finished a email conversation with Jethro Bovingdon from Drivetribe, I asked if he'd be interested in doing the first video review of my manual conversion 991.1 GT3RS build and he said YES!! I own a 997.1GT3RS, 997.2RS and the soon to be converted 991GT3RS and i asked if he would like to to a comparison video as well of the evolution of the model throughout the years and what it would have been like if Porsche made the 991RS in a manual and being they are all in the garage so sourcing them wouldn't be an issue and he thought it would be a "brilliant idea" . I Wanted t know if that is something the 997 crowd would like?

I Also Wanted to involve the 997.1/997.2GT3/RS forum members in the build of the car so I posted there as well. I know some of you and including myself were disappointed when Porsche took the 3 pedal option away.
Appreciate the support and let know your feedback about the DriveTribe video on the build thread below. Thanks everyone.

Great idea, thank you for doing this, hopefully Porsche will take note and let us choose which transmission we want next time!
