Lazy copy cat piece that's been all over the net for a few days now. Common view is that it's a turbo whatever it is and most likely a GT2 RS. I also read somewhere that the whole 4.2 story is pretty unlikely if the car were to stay n/a.

I recall some people saying (including AP) that the engine wouldn't work as well with a manual gearbox as with the PDK-S, but that's quite different to what you are claiming.

Just as people said that there were some reasons why there might not be a .2 version, although I think Apollo was more clear cut on that.

Who said it?

So to be clear, you are claiming i said something entirely different to what I actually said?

You are wrong, please don't misrepresent me.

Wrong again - it would be your continued misrepresentation of what people have said and your inability to back up your claims - see above for details.

And does the manual gearbox work as well as the PDK-S?

Different and to many works so much better.

PDK-S is excellent, but does engage well enough for some. Enjoy yours.

"to many"?? On a car that very few people have driven? Who has said that the GT3 engine and manual gearbox are better matched than the same engine and PDK-S gearbox? I'm pretty sure that EVO said the opposite, albeit they really enjoyed the different nature of the manual 'box.

The discussion regarding what 'works better' has never been about engagement, so that's a red herring, no-one is suggesting that the manual won't be more involving.

Sidick is very 1-dimensional in this aspect. I suggest we stop baiting him.
