Went out today for a chilly but sensational drive... all around, and for me, this iteration in manual is by far the most fun P GT car I've had the pleasure of driving! That includes my previous RS!... I love this thing. Get a few shifts spot on and you're rewarded with an automatic grin on your face and a feeling that you've conquered Everest. Here's a couple of pics from this morning.

I have been trying to explain this. The .2 demands /rewards spot on shifts with Rev matching on. If you do not- it kind of acts grumpy. Really tough to explain. It is a phenomenal transmission ans set-up and a step up from the GT4 which is almost impossibe to do the impossible- but they figured it out

Jimmy, you’re so right, it’s a tough one to explain. Just something about those moments when everything, the brake, shift, throttle, dance comes together, indescribable. It had me grinning, feeling warm and in Dr. Evil’s famous and adapted quote, made my driving experience feel “complete”.

True 🙏. Those roads are a minute from my house! I am fortunate indeed. The GT3 is at home around here 😉

Wait.... Do people seriously hate Carmine Red?! Is that even possible? It looks very classy and works perfectly with the yellow calipers on your car, just fantastic!

You will be stoked. The shift sounds/acts like a Gated shifter. You here the metal clicking slightly but never too loud to be annoying
