Last of the manuals? I don't think Porsche would make the same mistake as Ferrari. If Porsche enthusiast want a manual transmission in their GT3s then they will get it.
Please don't tell me there is official word from Porsche that all GT3s will be double clutchers. That just would not make sense.

(Unsubstantiated) rumors that a 7MT will be available eventually, perhaps as an option on the forthcoming RS version. RS premium plus a likely additional fee for the manual is a lot to swallow, though.

991 is a larger car too. 911 keeps getting bigger and bigger. Here is where the performance will come from:
1.) PDK. Faster around track.. shifting costs time.
2.) More torque. 9A1 will end up with more torque to make it pull harder.
3.) Handling will be less-911 like as wheel base is longer and motor pushed forward.

all that speech of people buying those sports cars for 'collectors' purposes is just a plain craziness. it is not a faberge egg, it is just a car, is was made to be beaten up on track and driven around.

That's very sage thinking. Independent studies have shown that owners of blue and gold RS' are intelligent, mature, good looking, fiscally responsible, good for the environment, good with children, charitable, witty, and extremely attractive to the opposite sex.
