RL can really suck. Everyone bitches and complains about the value threads but here a guy asks for some advice/comfort and gets criticized for not knowing enough about MT to warrant his owning the car. Nonsense. If people had treated me this way when I got in to racing I never would have learned nor stuck with it. We should all want more people joining our sport, hobby, passion. This isn't the way to encourage it.
some of the responses are far too harsh

And that's why I choose to race a cheap Honda and not a Porsche. 
Wanna see (hear) a money shift? Here is my money shift from last spring in my Honda race car vs. some Cayman GTB1 cars at Tremblant. We were having problems with the shifter and I got a lovely 11,000rpm zing that destroyed the motor.
Skip to 4:55 to see the shift...or watch the start of the race and enjoy!
(2008 Civic coupe K20 NA motor with ~235hp)
I have 2 of those 8th civic money shifts good thing K20Z3 aren’t too expensive.

Do these cars calculate overrevs based on oil temp? I think the 997TT cars record an overrev if say you hit 6.5krpm with the oil temp sitting <100*. Regardless, the handwringing over DME reports when these 9k 6MT screamers start trading on the secondary market en masse in a few years will be something to behold. I plan to pick one up in a few years with a WTB ad that reads "WTB: clapped out .2GT3 with documented range 6 action, unload your money shift albatross here..."

And no.
