Geez, I'm already (mostly) ignoring the 7th one

It's been noted will be an 8 speed PDK.

this render looks nice and seems kind of close to the actual prototype.

do you know what the increase in msrp will be? my advisor told me 3% probably, I thought it would be much more considering the rate of inflation.

nothing official but someone, usually well informed, tells that the S will cost as GTS 991.2

Which means a C2S will start around $119K

PDK being standard in base price makes sense as will be the only option as stated to start.

I have doubts a manual will be available other than some special edition model.

We've seen manual test cars, and multiple press releases dedicated to the continuation of the MT.

I do not have official information about manual trasmission .
For sure there ins’t manual trasmission in the optinal
list for launch cars.

While I think from a design perspective the 991 interior is nicer (simple, austere, Germanic, classic 911), getting into a 992 and then back into your 991 will make said 991 interior feel very.. well.. classic. Doesn’t bother me, but something to consider for those of you who it would. The exterior, not so much as they’re so much closer than the dramatic interior change.

Will the 8-speed PDK-derived manual be worse than the 7-speed, just like that was worse than the 6-speed?

Yay more "on paper" fuel economy gains that make no difference in real driving.

I’m going to bet on the current 7-speed manual carrying-over with, perhaps, a change in gearing to eek-out more MPG. The PDK will be faster to 60 or whatever than the manual, but that’s been the case for a while and people are ‘over it.’
