Frankly, this seems more,to be about manual vs pdk as opposed to gts vs whatever.

It's not really a gts review.

If the sport bucket seats were available, I would likely buy this car.

Had some time to drive the car this week and to my surprise. Valve is open at idle and when revving out of gear or when the clutch is engaged. The valve closes when in gear and in motion. Starts to reopen around 3500 rpms. So you and Larry were correct.

No worries...
That's why some say the GTS sounds better than the GT3 in the day to day lower RPMs range...
And the reason why a lot of GT3 owners disconnect the little hose that provides engine vacuum to the exhaust solenoid,thus making the valves stay open all the time.
