For all of us lucky peeps that are getting manual GT3's, can you post up your views on this thread.

Mine is due for delivery at the end of October, but I see Taffy59's has arrived so he should be in the car soon.

When are other people's manual cars due to arrive?

Good idea for a thread Terry.
Mine leaves factory c.20 Oct.
Probably a bit early to hear in depth views as car will need running in. But would love to hear everything and anything in the meantime. Esp engine mid range and mechanical diff.

Yep mine departs beginning Nov. I'm having it PPF's by Invisifilm so will be collecting towards the end of November.

Really looking forward to seeing what the first owners think of the manual. It's been a long time coming!

My car has still to be prepared for handover (probably Thursday) and therefore still to drive it but when I sat in it yesterday I was surprised how the light the clutch was. I'm sure it's lighter than the GT4.

I'm glad to hear that. Will make it even more useable!

Or we could fit a stronger spring to make it feel more old skool GT3 biggrin

Not an owner but very intrigued to hear people's views. Hope it is the hit it promises to be. I've had too many arguments backing the manual box to have to climb down biggrin

Me too. There are people who say the motor revs too fast for a manual but then you just don't drive it like a PDK. That's the whole point of it...

My lockdown was end of August with delivery expected end October. So, hopefully less than 2 months

Yes...can't wait for Jethro, Catchpole, Harris et al to do some reviews on the manual...maybe a month or so as presumably there will be manual press cars available very shortly.

Yes there are a couple of not so great vids on youtube and they look positive. A month is probably about right ...

Do we know what happened to JB and Drivetribe. He did not post any new material since May
