Bravo Porsche , I love it all. I have had four 911‘s over the years and this is absolutely my favorite. It is beautifully put together, I love the leather stitching, high level of workmanship and the mechanical precision.
It is unbelievably fast, smooth and wonderful to drive. The manual creates the feeling of a resto-mod, where old school meets hi tech. As noted by many you don’t … have to shift much if you don’t want to. Second gear can do about 80 so there is a huge range available in second or third. The modern touches like rev-matching and auto-start if you step on the clutch from stalling out, (which rarely occurs) is genius. My car is largely a garage queen. It’s in a country house and only used in suburban areas for weekend fun runs. Therefore the stick is ideal.
The manual has a completely different vibe and character than the PDK. If you’re using the car as a daily driver in an urban environment I would get the PDK. Let’s face it, that’s the best automatic in the world and it’s faster.. I’ve driven the PDK and it’s more luxurious in it’s character and ride, but not as engaging. I love the Bose, no need for a Burmeister.
The moonroof, leather stitching, Beautiful white
dials, in my opinion that’s all you need with a stick.
It comes with the sport exhaust and a few other things as a manual. I don’t have rear wheel steering, 4 wheel drive, or nose lift and I don’t miss them. I don’t see the need for four-wheel-drive if you’re not driving in the snow or bad weather which most people do not do . The 2 Wheel Drive is a blast and handles superbly . The 911 is very roomy, comfortable, light and airy as compared to many other true sports cars. It’s also one of the few you can get with a manual transmission.
This is a modern classic.
