I think a fast revving engine will be a delight to drive with manual transmission especially heeling and toeing, assuming the brake pedal on ceramics isn't set too high as it sometimes can be out of the box.
Its a shame that the GT3 does not have the SMFW option for the MT. This may help with the changes. I say this based on the 991 R. I have driven one without. They don't feel like the same car.SIXSM said:
I really like the Miami Blue but a brave choice - one customer has a Miami blue GT3 coming in September so will hopefully get to see that in the metal before the lucky owner picks up that car.
I might know something about that........Happy to catch up before or after delivery. To be fair, I had a good look at you Macan last month, so help yourself.

To be clear, GT3 doesn't have single mass flywheel at all, PDK or manual, they tried it but it doesn't work with the new engine. That's what Preuniger said in the evo video in any case.
That's correct, also from what I recall the MT version does not have the full E diff, or the same calibration on the RWS.APOLO1 said:

Correct, but imo that's a good thing, not a fan of E diff, rather a real one.The manual reviews are coming back very good.
It's a very tough choice on the new GT3 imo, being a manual fan boy I really want the manual car, but when I see PDK vids and how fast the new shift is I cannot help thinking PDK works very well also.
Thanks, would be great to see your car in the metal, great you will get the first car from the dealer, exciting stuff. I think Miami at the top of my list now as will really suit the car. The GT Silver looks fantastic but Miami winning me over! If you want any feedback on the Macan TPP drop me a line, couldn't be happier with it, soooo refined yet hugely capable, really great car...

seems like Miami GT3 will be common as muck on the south coast, although think mine the only one through Exeterbreadvan said:

Looking at the various photos of the Miami GT3s above i personally think it looks so much better with the silver wheels and standard Bi-xenom lights compared to the black Leds and in-between platinum alloys.
While in Silverstone PEC today and drove the 991.1GT3 back to back with the 991.2GTS i was astonished at how more planted and responsive/exciting the GT3 felt to the GTS...On the main track driving the GTS to within 95% of its capabilities according to my instructor i was able to pass everybody else until i came across a well driven 991.2GT3 and despite my best efforts he still managed to keep ahead of me..
I was so impressed with the GT3.1 and fully expecting the gen 2 to be even better in all aspects should make the new GT3 the best car i have ever driven and quite possibly the best car i will always drive. I thought the Guards red gen 2 looked amazing in the metal and i even loved the red wheel stripe and just maybe if possible switch from my Locked Racing yellow car but yellow still looks awesome.The one negative i found in the GT3.1 was the noticeable lack of torque in low/mid rev range which i hope will be addressed in the Gen 2.
I'm there doing another PEC tomorrow and hoping to enjoy a family day out at the Silverstone Classic as well before picking up my new Panamera 4e hybrid on Saturday to bring my new Porsches stable up to three despite very limited spare driving time..
You know what they say about a fool and his money are soon parted.......................................................................................
.....WELL ITS TRUE.
