Exactly…. Everyone wants an over-rev report on a preowned, manual 911 and since the 997 the ranges are numbered 1 through 6. Edit: BTW, Anything in the 4-6 range is consider unfavorable. PDK equipped vehicles are not a concern with over-revs as the car simply will not let it occur.

The thing is, we all know PDK is vastly superior.
You really tend to miss the driving experience with a manual though. Kudos for trying to like the T —

I enjoyed the PDK in the Boxster T service loaner that I had last fall. Would I easily bore of it over time? Absolutely! So long as a manual option is offered that will be the transmission that I spec. By the way, I would not want to have to pay out-of-pocket to replace a failed PDK past the factory warranty. A $30k tab and since my friend has been a technician at the local dealership I have witnessed several of them being replaced. When they take a dump, they do it in a grand fashion. The 7 speed manual in the T with the GTS SSK isn’t bad, you do have to be aware of your downshifts. Last edited by SCA; 04-27-2024 at 02:43 PM. |

Simply further confirmation that the hybrid 911s are coming and soon… This PAG press release was published yesterday. BTW, I was recently offered a 992.1 S allocation, July production via a midwestern dealer. $10k nonrefundable deposit. My deposit for the T was $0. |

Why would the S work but not the T? Power does not seem to be the issue to me more of a modern numb car issue.

My 997 was a base which I believe you have and it was awesome. |
