I'm not sure if its a flat shift really if your pressing the clutch, more of a rev match shift just with the cars computer controlling the accelerator without you lifting pedal,I think! Sounds good thoughbiggrin and Ill take one!

So is it Porsche's answer to Ford's Line Lock and Drift mode?

Following PH's nice review looks like EVO might also be testing the same car in next months issue. Maybe we'll see a few such reviews now...

I am looking forward to the Evora GT430 vs GT3 review in the next evo, see which they class as the most hardcore.

PH only had the car for a day according to his Twitter feed so we’ll have lots more reviews hopefully!

Will you be able to buy an Evora with the overs you make on your GT3?

Agree! However, I might cheat and use the rev match on track but it does seem pointless on the road.

I love blipping the throttle myself. Not much fun in my diesel daily thoughsmile

be nice to see what it is at 8250, as 9k is for track only when holding a gear due to a bend and not able to change right.

can some one look and post as I cannot watch his vids lol
