    I wanted him also to learn manual properly, with the driving instructor. Not just vaguely later on.

    Tough Dad indecision

    I got my driver license 37 years ago learning automatic.

    Then borrowed a friend's manual Honda civic and learned manual myself within 30 minutes.

    Now I track my manual RS in advanced level group. 

    I found it much easier to drive a manual car, then manually shift a PDK car, which I have to keep checking the screen which gear I'm in. Smiley

     

    Even when I was racing, I never had a need to look at the display to figure out which gear I am in. The engine note and the view out front is enough information, the rate of acceleration you get when you put your foot down is very distinct between gears. Counting how many times I pulled the paddles also helps, heavy braking on the longest straights and pulling left paddle 4 times means I am in 2nd. on exit right paddles a couple times means I am in 4th, left again it's 3rd, right right right I am right back at 6th. Eyes never left the front view and hands never left the steering wheel, fully in control.

    So easy, so simple, so intuitive. Smiley

    Targa Tim:

    Back to GT3 topic, if there will be a 992 GT3 touring cabriolet with power roof, then I wonder if I should trade my Speedster and get some money back, as they basically are the same engine 

    GT3 cabriolets will be a dime a dozen whereas your speedster is limited, albeit in high number.

    Re: 992 GT3 Touring...

    I would be worried to put miles on the speedster since its limited - not the GT3 cab - I also want PDK too!

    RC:

    My son has his "Abitur" (high school diploma, Matura, etc.) when he is 18 and I do not want to add the stress of failing the driving exam to his school stress, so I actually would not pressure him to take the exam with manual if he doesn't want to. We'll see... Are there pickup trucks with manual? Smiley Smiley Right now, after driving the G63 for a while, I do not know if a pickup truck is a good idea for a 18 year old. Too heavy, too big, just not "safe" in my opinion. It may not be a very fast car but he can cause a lot of damage and injury with a pickup truck.

    Sorry, back to topic: GT3 Touring. My wife still doesn't know what she wants, now she is back to wanting a GT3 Touring Cabriolet. Smiley She wants a wing though... Smiley Smiley Oh boy, Porsche can never get a break. Smiley

    A truck is in my view a very bad idea for an 18 year old in Europe. Not only it is more dangerous, specially to others, but it will also be a pain in everyday live. 

    My son  has his '' Abitur'' in June. Wonder now if learning to drive a manual will make him fail his school exams   .....Smiley

    Tough, me ? No ... I've let him drive my 964 after his 2nd time driving on the road and my 997 after the 4th  . Only reason he has not touched the RS is because the hand brake is not reachable from the passenger seat which makes it illegal to be used as a learner's car Smiley

    I just want him to have a proper base, then he can lear all his life driving PDK Smiley

    You are right of course, trust me, I know this very very well. Smiley

    The G63 is already a monster, size-wise and a RAM 1500 is even bigger/longer. Not a good vehicle for a beginner.

    I am thinking about getting a A45 S AMG as a second daily car for me but this is no car for a beginner either. 

    I do not want to get him some old crap or something uncool but I guess we discussed this often enough. Smiley

    We'll see...I try to get him something "cool" he can live with but I also want him to be safe. Smiley

    Smiley I think you misunderstood me: I am worried that he fails his manual driving exam and then this could influence his school exams. He is a good driver but he has never driven manual.

    You want him to drive something cool.

    it does not matter, look at my combo of cars, zafira and a GT3, best practical combo one can have Smiley

    And the Vauxhall has one of those lifetime warranties. Lifetime or 100,000 miles, I will never hit 100,000 mile driving it so the shit box Is covered for the whole of my ownership. I’m a lucky boy.Smiley.

    If our kids get the good goodies to early in life they will end up not having anything to look forward to in their later years. I was never bought expensive treats from my parents, but, it enhanced the sheer sense of self accomplishment when I bought my first decent car from my own hard work and cash.

    Thats why I value and treat my GT3 so well.
     

    The oll saying is true - ‘’easy come easy go’’.
    Many/mostly who get different items for nothing have zero respect and value for that item.

    it’s like getting something many times on the trot. A lot of people won’t take care of it because there is the next one around the corner, for nothing.

    fwiw: presentation of new CUP has been moved to Oschersleben this WE. Car will have more power, will do everything better (of course) and will not have active aero. Performance similar to current GT3 R. (all rumors, although the date seems to be valid)

    Has it been presented? Has anyone seen it?

    If that large wing is actually on the production versions, it will need clearance lamps much like those found on a Ford Raptor or Hummer H2, to receive U.S. certification.  That's definitely pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable as a road car.

    As far as I understood that landing strip is indeed the final size/shape.

    The GT3 is the one to have if you ask me - better for the road and more rare given how many RSs they build.
