Even if they offer a manual for the RS, it's not a true manual, it'll be the same 7spd manual offered in the base Carrera, which is still the dual clutch box. I highly doubt it will happen.
I just need to add a Subaru BRZ and E92 M3 to the stable and then I'm set for the long haul.
With BMW moving to turdbros for the M3/M4, even with a manual, that car has no appeal to me.
NA + manual is a dying breed. Get them while you can, they might not be back for a long time, or ever.
At least Audi still offers the "base" R8 with a fantastic V8 + real 6spd manual. If I was spending 115K on a new car for street driving, that's probably what I would be buying.

I wonder if a manual base R8 with big brakes could be track worthy with the extra AWD weight...
Ah...a manual creed...
Indeed a dying breed...
Where did the clutch pedal go...
When PDK fans say it ain't so...
Who needs to heel and toe...
When you have touch and go...
What Porsche thinks it is extinct...
We say it's better built...
We won't give up and rise stronger...
To make the ancient last longer!

Although, it's a shame Audi won't offer a base R8 w/ RWD only and 6spd manual, then they would be on to something for $114K. They need a Valentino Balboni edition, bad.

I agree but Audi brand is too tied to the Quattro concept for that (but I thought the same about Subaru AWD when they released the BRZ to my surprise with RWD).

+1 for the manual.
This thread will have zero impact unless those with deposits for GT3/RS down at dealers walk away unless given a manual option. As long as they can sell cars without manuals there in no incentive to change. But if the dealers start loudly complaining about lost sales.....

Well guys,
It took a little over 3 years, but we are getting our car. And when I say "we are getting" I use those terms loosely..
It turns out AP and Porsche read these forums. Maybe the stuff we post/say directly helps, maybe not.
I guess the next thing to petition for - is make enough cars to satisfy demand.
