I love the shifter, but admit its taken some getting used to it.
The GT3 is like a blue blazer...a staple. You need it AND other cars...

Ferrari 512TR for example...

When cold I often double clutch although it is not needed as I find this transmission always goes into gear without a problem. My previous 997.2 C2 often would not go from 1st to 2nd when cold and required a double clutch.

Same situation. Weird to no longer have car "wants" after all these years of longing for a better car. These cars are silly fast for street so I feel no need for more power on the road. I'm actually hoping it doesn't go up too much in value as I don't want to worrying about putting on miles or tracking it. Once motor needs refresh in very distant future it is nice to know guys like Sharky are there to rebuild and enhance.
