Even though the DPK is much faster than the manual transmission, I'm glad that they decided to keep it and make only a manual, i would love to own one of them one day with a manual transmission...plus nowadays its harder to find good sports car with manual transmissions....but i think the main reason for it was strategy..if people do want a porsche "track ready" car but auto will need to get a GT3, guess its a way for them to keep them from "stealing" sells of their 911 line up

They brought a manual only because people were asking for it. The GT3 came out with PDK only and has received a lot of **** for not having a manual box. The lead designer, himself, said that this isn't the car for the people who want the final 1/10s out of their car. This is for people who want to feel their car which is why they spent even more time tuning the steering response and the manual box.

Evo has a pretty good interview on it.

If you don't understand, nothing I say will convince you.
