The 2 NA options should have a manual choice.

No future street legal sports car is worth squat without a manual transmission and a 3000LBS weight limit.

NA and flat 6 only way to go. MT or PDK S doesn't matter to me if it was part of the poll.

Voted for #1 but my preference would be current RS HP in a car 300lbs lighter. Essence of Porsche has always been doing more with less and I think the HP wars are stupid.

For the V8 fans:

RGT8
Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruf_RGT
RGT-8[edit]

In 2010, an update version of the 997 RGT, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. This RGT-8 is powered by a completely new, Ruf designed 4.5-litre V8 engine with a 180° flat-plane crankshaft. It features four valves arranged spherically together with multipoint fuel injection which ensure optimal mixture conditions while the dry sump oil system supplies the necessary lubrication." To ensure maximum sportiness, Ruf made the RGT-8 as light as possible by installing the aluminum doors, an aluminum hood, a carbon fiber engine cover, and a carbon fiber rear spoiler. Like the flat-6 versions, the new RGT-8 also includes ceramic brakes, an integrated roll-cage, and 19-inch forged alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.

Specifications[edit]

(Data shown is the for the 997 RGT model)
Weight: 2,932 pounds (1,330 kg)
Power: 445 hp (332 kW) @ 7600 rpm
Torque: 310 lb·ft (420 N·m) @ 5100 rpm
Specific output: approx. 117.1 hp (87 kW) per litre
Power-to-weight ratio: approx. 6.59 pounds (2.99 kg) per horsepower 0-60 mph (97 km/h): 4.2 sec
Top Speed: 197 mph (317.0 km/h)[1]


Third generation (2012–present)[edit]

In 2012, the latest version of RGT-8 was unveiled in Geneva Motor Show. However, this model is an all-new car based on Porsche 991 rather than an update. As with the previous version, the new RGT-8 uses the same 4.5-litre V8 engine with power and torque output of 550 hp (410 kW) at 8500rpm and 369 lb·ft (500 N·m) at 4000rpm. The top speed for this vehicle is 318 km/h (197.6 mph).

I'd take a lot less than 600hp to get that V8 and a manual. The sound it makes.....
