'' About That Manual Gearbox
As slick as the PDK is, a car like this should surely offer both options. For those who want to work a stick and enjoy the fruits of their own skills, often learned over decades, the new 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 will be a slight disappointment. But I defy any of those people to not celebrate how impressive this car has become. ''
That sums it all up right there!

...if you switch the traction and stability control off you can play with the rear axle just as you could in the old car. The rear steering moves into a fixed position...
First I have heard of this.

So that would mean that with all the e nannies switched off RWS is disabled? That's contrary to what we've heard before.
As usual, the primary (only?) gripe is lack of a manual choice.
Nice.

It's a new kind of driving: one that hard-core GT3 fans might not buy into, but from behind the wheel the car feels utterly alive. . . . . It's a stunning car to drive: faster, more agile and, well, plain better in every area.

CH mentioned that it was during rear slides/drifts. These guys make it sound like it'd when you turn of stability control. If it's the latter, than RWS is mostly useless, at least for me - when stability control is on, I'm not driving hard enough for RWS to make difference, other than during parking.

Regardless I'm certain based on other info that simply turning traction control off does not disable RWS, even through some might think that preferable.
