Yup! 13 EEEE. I have driven manual Porsche sports cars since 1970. But my 2015 911 C2S 7 spd manual was my first and last Push 7 speed manual. It sucks, with to many overdrive gears, wide ratios, and too easy to downshift from 5th to 2nd when aiming for 4th. Pittsburgh is now blowing to the Greenies, and the regular production sports cars with
manual transmissions are exhibit A for that.
From now on, I'm shifting my Porsche Sports cars with my fingertips, instead of my right elbow and left knee. It's so much faster and more convenient, I'm never looking back again. Unless they offer the close ratio manual of the GT3 in the street 911s.
Not likely, with all the bowing and kneeling b4 the Greenies that is happening nowadays.
