The GT3 RS nailed its goal of providing a pure drivers car and not being overly complex A few weight savings mods, a engine to die for, a RR layout and a proper manual transmission. Didn't need to rely on expensive technology to do it.
Of course it isn't agreed that manual= driving pleasure. But for me and many others it always will.
