991 to come with 7-speed manual?
according to C&D:

"...we’ve confirmed from various corporate sources that Porsche will offer a seven-speed manual in the next-generation 911."
Don`t know what to think about this...

This 7 speed talked about would be a normal 3 pedal setup , that just sounds weird and awkward to me. 6th is already low, they'd have to completely regear so 7th didn't feel like the motor was chugging.

I'm all for it. At highway speeds, like 75mph, the tach is over 3,000rpm. Would love another gear to get fuel economy up in those situations. Of course, I'm not often on the highway, but it would be nice.

I must be missing something in all the negative response with this rumor. For those track guys, 7th will never be used, so not sure why it matters. So if I'm just showing my ignorance or inexperience, please explain: I actually am interested in understanding these things better.
On the upside, if there is a 7th gear, the ONLY purpose will be for highway fuel economy. I see this as having the potential for Porsche to claim 30mpg with a 400hp sports car (Porsche Intelligent Performance and all that) WITHOUT a hybrid.
