And getting excited about the lack of choice is a bit deranged, imo...

I know that I would not have purchased any of my 3 GT cars, had Manual not been available.

They also reduce our reliance on and support of authoritarian regimes like Russia and Saudi Arabia that use their oil as a weapon against democracies. The political uncertainty and chaos due to man made global climate change are basically inevitable at this point, but we can reduce them if we act now. The scientific debate is essentially over. Oil producers are the ones that have been cossetted with the public paying hugely profitable companies with massive tax incentives. The actual turpitude happening is their continued corruption of public servants and "news" media to continue spreading lies that too many people have accepted and repeated without critical thought. Rant over...

I’m hoping to be able to compare PDK vs manual, but my car is like a completely different car than a stock GT3 at this point.

Still easy to avail oneself of the downforce and better suspension while shifting manually, imo…

The two gearbox choices are almost totally unchanged between generations.

I just felt the the 992 GT3, the first time I drove a MT......really was better suited for a PDK, and ordered mine that way. And never looked back, still super happy. Just one man's opinion...albeit a strong one in this case....

IF TRUE, we may need to change the title of this thread!

I think you are saying that the lightweight flywheel means the revs drop quickly, so the manual car can be a bit challenging to drive perfectly without the electronic auto-blip aids, which then maybe PDK is the better choice; technology exists in both, so just embrace it fully. If that is the point, it is a fair one. But that manual transmission sure is fun. It all comes down to your use case and preference. I am personally in the manual camp. It seems like most of the auto companies don't get it either though.
