I would say the "purest" form of sports car driving is a manual. But the word "true", that goes somewhere else and then I'd have to disagree.
I like both flappy paddles and manuals. I feel the paddles create a little more versatility. As far as DCT/Auto, "not being true sports cars"? With that I take mild issue as to me. I don't think that leaving out the step of not having to depress a clutch wouldn't suddenly make a car, not a true sports car. I believe if the car was made with a non shifting auto, that would be more conducive to a car NOT being a true sports car. Another thing would be CVT transmission which removes gear changes from the equation altogether.

It's just a matter of semantics, metrics go to autos now. Thats a fact. A human with a mechanical interface will NEVER be as efficient as an electronic interface. Just simple physics. Fun factor? Row, row row row your gears gently down the track....

You'll be delighted to hear that Carlos Ghosn is stepping down soon. Be careful what you wish for...

No Extra Charge For A Six-Speed Manual On The New Porsche 911 GT3 [32 Images]
The above article tells you Porsche NOT charging EXTRA for the manual. Here's where people believe the hype and fail to smell the bullshyt. On a regular carrera, there's about a $4500 premium for a PDK give or take a couple hundred bucks. So in reality you're paying a $4,500 premium for a manual. Lol. Reee dickyou lie And don't you have to get on a list for Porsche approval of the GT3 Manual? I'll take the PDK.

I often wonder how much fun a Porsche 911 GT3 can actually be on the street? You have 500HP but you have to shove 373lbs of torque through 7 gears & 9,000rpm? I am trying to process this in my head. In street driving, wouldn't this car feel completely torqueless?
It really seems like a track only engine on a street car?? Maybe someone here has test driven a GT3?

a GT3 or GT3RS is meant for the track, so sure putting around on the street it might feel down on power, but go ask the shop in KC if its gutless, since one go their techs was able to spin one out and hit brick wall and pretty much destroy it. I've had two CTSV's and now on my second 911 C4S. The V will no doubt pull on an open road with torque....but on a twist road the 911 eats it up. IF you want both....go test drive a 997 Twin Turbo......that is one insane car, with all the power and handling you need. Its scary fast. Al,lost like a liter sport bike, its very hard to find a place to legally have fun with it....unless you re on a track. want some REAL fun....go try a 911 GT2 or forbid a GT2RS......its a widowmaker

I'm looking at the 991.2 GTS. I think the new turbo engines are what the doctor ordered for Porsche... I wish the car itself had more drama to the looks for the money. I'm dying for the GTS reviews to hit. I like what I hear about the 991.2 carreras. The GTS should really be perfection and the best all round value.
