But the lion's share of 911's sold are base, S, GTS, AWD models and those have always had a manual option. In fact they developed a 7sp manual specifically for the 991 generation. If we're keeping score that's 2 freshly developed manual transmissions for the 991 911. A far cry from AT only for the 911.
I'm sorry but that's also 100% false. Porsche brought back the manual for the 2016 911R. AP realized the "Principle of Purity" by actually listening to his customers that it was offered for the 2018 991.2 GT3.


I drove the 86 and throught eh, not my cup of tea. I'll hold my judgement for the MKV Z4 Coupe when it arrives at the dealership.
