If you understand the instant power and rapid redline of the Turbo and GT3, a manual transmission simply did not make sense. No one can shift an MT that quickly.

It had nothing to do with MT having problems or being avoided.

+1. The Getawayer recently did a comprehensive review of the GT3 (either posted on this forum or 6speed) where he discusses in depth the PDK and why in his view, it "makes sense" for the GT3. The 7MT in the C2S is a great transmission, probably the finest manual I've driven. Will it let you wring every last bit of performance out of the car as a PDK would? No (at least for most drivers), but it's rewarding in a different way.

Owned a 997.1 s then moved to a 997.1 turbo and then to a 997.2 gt3.

Just ordered a Boxster gts as previously written on this site.

Drove a 991s - spyder and 997.2 gts and they all missed or lacked something ..compared to my previous cars
The 991 is too big for me ! Spyder was nice but felt outdated when compared to the new Boxster gts and the 997.2 gts was like downgrading from my gt3 to a lesser 997 model.

Best pcar to date is my 2010 gt3..
" I changed due to roads in my region and 3 season daily driver needs".


For the record I did not want to get into a cayman gts because i knew the outcome would be another p coupe.

You have to drive the new boxsters and not judge based on old news or pedigree ranking in the p food chain.

To me the new Boxster and cayman are the new drivers 911.

Side note : I recently found out that the new owner of my gt3 traded in his 991 4s for it..
