100% agreed.

And with numbers it will be a more ''generic'' less exclusive car. More units = price drop.
Just take a look at 996 turbos and 997 turbos, they are a bargain for what they offer.

Maybe heavy dual-mass flywheel or still some fuel injection programming to be optimized? I noticed similar bogging in CH video when it was showing throttle blips.

Not sure if it is the case anymore.. when it just came out, it was $69k. Now the cheapest edition is around $99. The "Track Edition" is actually $116k.

Performance wise is a car that does a lot well but no feel or involvement, really numb feel, and not even a good daily, as it's fat, big and SO STIFF

any self-respecting architect should be influenced by HAL on a daily basis..

Mooty, if you want a third pedal, just fit one and a big *** spring plus a imitation H gate... brain, hand and leg doing what comes natural and car making all the right moves to stay a head... a win all round!!

I am afraid from flooding the market by the new GT3 since most buyers don't link manual gear and once 991 GT3 is PDK it will be sold immediately and by girls as well.

I am the only GT3 99.9999% of the time in the street and 10s of turbos and other 911s but with PDK this formula will be change.
He just said that the new GT3 is for girls and manuals make us manly.

Not sure if it was posted, but another video -



The in-car view at the beginning of the video reminds me of my time in a GTR - point the steering, squeeze gas, brake, rinse repeat. Of course the GT3 sounds much much better.
