I took delivery of my MT GTS on May 7. I posted many remarks about the lack of ease of the MT. I was missing gears and stalling away in first gear. I have had six MT Porsches and this was the first that gave me aggravation.

I was wrong. I am now at 2000 miles and the MT shifts like butter.

The moral of the story is to be patient until breakin.

Great to hear, Dr. Freeman. Any other impressions regarding your GTS?

There is a saying among riders: you don't break the saddle in, the saddle breaks you in.

I bought a 50th used with 4k miles on it. Took me a few weeks to settle in with the 7MT gates. Rifle-bolt action is phenomenal...like butter. I love it. I drive it like a 5 speed though. 6 and 7 are for the Autobahn.
