718 Spyder RS



Is it me, or is that top even less useful and more ridiculous to use?

My dataset means nothing and is heavily biased, but all of the instructors were stoked for me that (1) I got a GT3 allocation and (2) I got the 6 speed manual.

I think the PDK bores them. I’m sure if we were professional racers the PDK is de rigeur, but we’re not. So.

Yeah I don't see the point of this being convertible with PDK only. I thought the point of a convertible is the experience thus MT is critical and plus you usually cannot drive them at a track.
