The problem is that to spin up the gearbox, you have to blip the throttle while you're in Neutral and the clutch is engaged. Auto-blip would have no way of knowing what gear you were targeting in that scenario, and if you wait until you're into the target gear's shift gate for the blip (with the clutch disengaged), you're not spinning up the gearbox anymore and the synchros have already done their work. I guess you could blip yourself in Neutral to minimize synchro wear and then count on auto-blip to make the minute adjustments for maximum smoothness though.

Fwiw, I only double-clutch when skipping more than two gears, such as 6>3. For everything else I just expect the synchros to do their work.

I'm not a big fan of red cars, but damn your car looks gorgeous.

That's about the most gorgeous Porsche that I have ever seen, and I've seen many over the years. Finally a Porsche that I can afford, but it's still unattainable unless I'm willing to pay a substantial premium over sticker from some speculator, and I'm not willing to do that.

I just got back from a trip to Napa and was noticing how bland the color palate was for every car I saw. White (my choice), black, or some shade of silver everywhere. I was actively looking for color and rarely saw it.
Then I come to this thread...wow. A Guards Red uppercut to the face! Beautiful photos.

When you are mindful of the cars on the road you will notice a lack of color, most cars are either white, black, silver or gray.
That's why I changed from Rhodium Silver to Sapphire blue metallic. It really pops in the sun and looks darker in the shade, 2 colors for one price.

Looking good! Even more confident i my choice of GR. Didn't go with the deviated stitching because I was afraid it would be too much red with the red exterior, calipers and harness, but it looks great. Congrats!
