[QUOTE="B7BlownSnake, post: 16219297, member: 112096"] Yes, the 991 GT3 is a great example of a manufacturer listening to the fan base. The issue there is, first, the GT3 technically isn't the "numbers" car. That would be the RS models. And Porsche will definitely NOT listen to people asking for a manual in those. Second, Porsche makes a huge profit off the GT3, so the cost of certifying 2 transmissions isn't an issue like it is with the GT500. Plus, the PDK and 6spd in the GT3 share a large number of parts with other cars in their lineup. The T6060 Ford could use in the GT500 isn't that expensive, but less economies of scale on the DCT would be more costly. [/QUOTE]
