Leawood911:
I will say it again - it will have a sequential gearbox tamed for the street/track. It will have a clutch used for when stopped and to start (when not using launch control) and to downshift. Up shifts will be without clutch and will be instant/brutal - if so desired. Anytime you can still use the clutch to shift when you want to be smooth and baby it. There will be no H-pattern, just sequential gears, most likely six for durability. This gearbox will make the PDK look like the automatic slush box that it is. The GT3RS will be the BOMB! - my guess is a 9400 RPM redline to make up for the six speeds.
This is my prediction - anyone who has driven a cup car will tell you it was inevitable and the GT3RS is the perfect car to try this on. It will stand apart - far apart, and the transmission and clutch will be bullet- proof when used on the street with limited track use, like the new PCCB brakes.
Cheers
Sounds everything nice but Porsche wants to make money too... ![Smiley](/staticimages/graemlins/wink.gif)
The surprises seem to be related to some other "features", just let's wait for the press release at some point.
The magnesium roof, I think Dario mentioned it once, seems to be a sure thing.
I am very curious and no, I have no details yet (but I'm working on it
).
