The whole point of the GT4 is that it comes in manual.

In other news, did you guys hear that 991.2 GT3s will get a manual? Looks like Porsche is doing a reversal from what they said in the past.

It's a stop gap as the next gt3 is further out.

Also a way to milk more money out of buyers, the 911R sold out right away.

Porsche is the king of making "special" versions of 911's, if they think they can make a GT4 PDK and it will sell well and be profitable they will do it. Why not? customers are happy, they are happy.

yup, love both these quotes. Every douche, his mom or his dog can drive an auto now a days. The stick eliminates so many. Its great bringing the g/f into a convo with "car guys" and she explains how she owns and drives a manual car and then she asks guys that dont know how what they drive... its hilarious.
