I think I just wet myself. They may actually be building the car I'd always hoped for:

Yes they will AND with 5 lugs, MT, full roll cage and a new racing series organized around it.

Porsche should stop building any 911,Cayman or Boxster if they do not come with a manual transmission(as an option at least)! They should stick to the rest of the lineup that brings them the most money. I know it's a harsh opinion,but it's just that : my opinion.
Back to topic,it looks great! I really hope they'll build something exciting again!

Forget buying a 997.1 in a year, this just shot to the top of my list. Let's hope it's an N/A screamer and not a turbo 4.

If that's the case, they can keep it. Zero interest.

On the other hand, if it has a smaller version of the 991GT3 motor with 400+ and a manual, I'm all in.

There will have to be something to make it tangibly "worse" than a GT3 I'm afraid.

No trick diff? MT only? (Such a hardship!) Less exotic engine (lower redline than GT3)?

Certainly it will have less power, but that's the least important thing in my eyes.
