    • @MaxSpeedMike
      @MaxSpeedMike 5 років тому +9

      Agreed with both of you guys. A lot of the people in America think standard means automatic lol. Unfortunately manual cars are dying out, I like to buy them while I can and you should too. They won't be around for as long as we thought they would be

      My money is on the fact that for years marketers have been beating ignorant buyers about faster times in automatics while regular road vehicles stopped producing the manual option in cars with higher trim packages. As a result, today a manual is viewed as a slow and economic means of transferring power to the wheels.
      I would buy a 3.3 Stinger in a heartbeat, but not having a manual is a complete deal breaker for me. Same reason I will never own any modern Mercedes.
      If we have more reviewers point out the non statistical benefits of a manual gearbox, I believe that we will be able to bring them back. These guys did a phenomenal job in this video!

    I did a track day in a 997 GT3 last year, they're just the most amazing cars in the world. I since bought a 986 as an introduction to the Porsche brand and it seems that Porsche just make the best cars in the world.

    The GT3 of this generation is perfection. They will be difficult to attain with value. I settled on the 991.1 Manual with the 3.8. It does not go to 9k but that flat 6 howl still sounds amazing at 7800!
