I was the same, but then I've only heard it first hand at goodwood, where it was going up the hill with an Fxxk Ferrari and various other very loud, very tuneful carsdoodlebug wrote:Oddly, I thought the sound was disappointing.
Re the manual box. Personally, I'd be very happy with a paddle shift, but there is a big chunk of the Porsche GT car market, who want that final peice of interaction that a manual box affords.
I'm sure Porsche did their homework though, and I understand the PDK suits the nature of the GT3 very nicely, and other brands providing driver/track focus cars (ie ferarri) ditched the Manila years ago
Personally, in regards to the R8's - I've done 1000+ miles in both Manual and stronic v10 R8's, and I'd take the stronic every time
