Porsche has hinted that they'll stop making manual transmissions by 2017. What will we all do then? Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren I think only make automatics.

Buy a manual GT3/RS and hold onto it.

I will be in a Corvette or Viper. No interest in prima donna's , or cars that aren't made to be driven hard.

Some interesting insights on evaluation of GT3 PDK vs manual.

That's surely BS.

I thought gt3 was supposed to.be a track.car where pdk makes sense. However I'd be glad if both options were offered.

While it is a track car, its a great car of getting to and from the track in as well. My point being is it can easily be a road going car as well. If they make this in MT, I will buy it and hold it forever!
