I think all of us agree on that!! I just saw this on Rennlist and thought the jab at ferrari owners was funny. I have two porsches and honestly can't wait to get my hands on a GT3…..
I totally agree with you Ron. I'm so old school and I want to work both feet and my right hand in unison. Then last year I drove a 458 Italia through Italy and absolutely loved it. Until then I poo pood the new trannies. They are awesome. Different to be sure, but awesome nonetheless.
My neighbor took delivery on his GT3 about 1 month ago, he drove it until the "fire" recall, the dealer took it back and gave him a Cayenne to drive in the meantime, according to the dealer no fix has been determined. He is a long time road racer and has raced, Formula Ford, Formula Atlantic, Sports 2000 and the professional Ford 2000 series, he said that the PDK is so good he would never order a manual
transmission car again. He initially had doubts about having an automatic shifting box, because all of his race cars have been manuals as well as his street cars.

Firstly congratulations on your purchase of the GT3! Probably the car I'd own ( and drive often) or the GT3 RS if not for the Ford GT.
Earlier this year my brother in law left this at my place overnight and was to pick it up later the next day. The next morning as she was in need of a wash and i felt like feelin her up :eek :biggrin:lol i went to it. Soon after completing the wash my brother in law called yet again to extend an invitation for me to take her out for as long as i wanted and to see what i thought. ( he wasn't coming by for another few hours ) .
It was a beautiful day and told my wife i'd be out for a ride as per the offer. I had atleast an hour and a half available to me and looked forward to driving this PDK ( twin clutch) classic and a cabriolet at that. As i have previously owned 2 911's albiet a 1976 911S and a 1982 Turbo ( atleast drove it very often like I owned it -another story ) i believe I have more than a fondness for the iconic model and brand.
To make a long story short i was back home after about only 30 minutes. When I walked into the house my wife asked me what had I forgotten - knowing an opportunity like i had been given I'd normally be taking advantage of. To my dismay and her surprise i replied " nothing ... Believe it or not the car is so boring".
In this particular situation i'm making more of a statement about the twin ctulch transmission coupled with a " soft " boulevard cruiser which IMHO needed spark and pizzaz and that a manual gearbox would have helped in that department - big time.
