the manual version is for the US only.

 

Really!?!?!? That's a first! We're the country that usually doesn't get stick shift cars...something about us being lazy

thats Porsche

 

uhm...that is funny as hell and bad like anything...

 

Except the 6-speed has a clutch delay valve (no aggressive standing starts), non-defeatable traction control (unlike SMG), and the 400hp/500hp is only accessable through the menus (unlike SMG).

 

Have had many 1st year cars and there is deff an improvemet curve. Have been diving an M6 Cab for 3 months with SMG and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! you can make it soft hard or anything in between, wish I could do that with some other things

 

So you can't set the M Button to active P500 mode along with other personalized options like with the SMG version? Or, is there no M button?

Also, didn't realize they put a CDV valve on the car. Bummer...

 

There's no power button. M button can still be programmed. CDV kinda sucks, but can be disabled, though that'll probably affect your warranty. Someone someday will probably figure out how to program out the non-defeatable traction control.

 

cdv doesn't impact warranty

 

Removing the clutch delay valve can't be detected?

 

Have you driven one yet? post break-in...

personally, I find the SMG smooth and reliable
for its weight, the car handles and eats road like none other!

 

Those of you who get 10 mpg in the city, how are you all driving your toys?
Are you suffering from rightfootitis?

 

Driven the same:

12 mpg: M5
18 mpg: 02 996TT at ~600hp

 

Didn't even realize that there was a power button in the M5 SMG. I thought it was through the I-Drive, and that you could program it to be activated when pushing the M Button.

 

there is but i wish it's never there.
