When I see it I will beleave it, That is not even a gt3 in the picture. just another speculation
Its a great post, nice read and interesting info but I highly doubt the 6 speed gear box is dead. Maybe oneday but Im sure it will not be this soon. Just does not make sense. Everyone seems more than pleased with the current model gt3 and they only came in manual, Id be more than sure to think porsche would first try to faise the pdk into gt3 with it being an option alongside the manual before making it the only avalible gearbox. This just does not add up. I think many people will be disappointed if this truly is the new way of porsche and the gt3
just my opinion,

Or maybe they want to see how faithful the GT3 crowd really is? Maybe they want to know how many of us will ***** and how loud? There is a purpose in his statements.

Agreed that this makes no sense. Especially with this crowd. They will have to offer the manual. I may risk fire being shot at me, but the new PDK does make sense for the track - I will still prefer a manual just because it is more fun. I am into fun and don't care as much about lap times. If I cared about lap times, I would order a 991 GT3 RS with PDK without a second thought. I like HDTV and don't see going back to analog any time soon. Better is better - let's face it, but fun is also fun and that is in a different category. Two different points of view.

Same info
My dealer confirmed the same on the 6 speed, he indicated that the entire manual platform is based on the 7 sped Pdk tranny and Porsche will expire the 6 in order to reduce SKUs and standardize production. Sad.....
