Porsche GT3 PDK vs Manual which one do we choose ?
Porsche 992 GT3 PDK vs Manual. If you read the reviews, and watch the videos they seem to agree that a drivers car like the Porsche 992GT3 should have a manual gearbox so that a driver can engage intimately with the cars workings
and hopefully they’re right because you don’t get to test drive a new GT3 before placing your order
However the fact is that the quiet majority of GT3 buyers favour the semi automatic PDK shifter so who's right?
Well to figure out once and for all the answer to the question of Manual verses PDK, why not join me Roger Bailey for some enthusiastic driving in this manual GT3 and in this PDK GT3

The all new Porsche Cayenne, technically its a facelift of the third-generation car first unveiled in 2017 - but given the vast array of changes it’s hard to argue that this is any less than a massive revamp.

Porsche 992 GTS. manual transmission cars are getting scarce, yet Porsche understands the appeal of stick shifters which means, rare as it is, old school manual versions of the Porsche 911 GTS are still with us.

Back in the day the target audience for Porsche was limited to millionaires yet by the 1980’s expanding the fan base to the less affluent became an urgent project if Porsche's success was to continue.

Nice review Roger, i prefer the manual for sure.
Hi Roger, great video. I am lucky to be looking at a first Porsche purchase in hopefully 6-8 months and came across this in my research having gone through all the others, I think this car is just so special and the only decision now is the colour! Very informative review, I wonder do you still have the car? I am also on the Wirral so recognise a lot of your driving areas! Only other concern is if the roof, not the operation, I like that bit, but is it water tight as I dont have a garage! 😀 Thanks again for the video
@@johnhodgson166 the roof is 100% water tight in all conditions, its fine to leave out all year round, the roof it’s a little heavy to raise up, women may struggle a bit. I’ve sold this Miami blue car and I now have a shark blue 2023 718 Spyder, I wouldn’t be without one ! good luck in your search - Roger
Thanks Roger, that colour is one on my list, looks great. Thanks again
Back in 2017 I asked Andreas Preuninger if he preferred the manual or PDK 991.2 GT3. He said that with access to both at his office in Weissach, he took home whichever version he was in the mood for that day. Enough said. As I drive mine into the hills near where I live I went for the Clubsport manual. If I did a lot of trackdays I would have gone PDK. Horses for courses.
Personally, I think the whole manual vs. PDK debate is silly. Pick what fits with the driving style you prefer. The only way to truly enjoy a manual in a Porsche IMHO is in a classic air cooled Porsche. The modern Porsche is best driven with a PDK because it allows you to truly test the chassis and suspension setup of the car, no human can change gears as effectively as a PDK. Besides, the majority of time is spent driving these cars in the city anyway and a manual is a pain in city traffic. I’m fortunate to own a new 992 Turbo S and an early 911 with manual transmission. I wouldn’t want it any other way. When I want to have some fun on a twisty country road and enjoy the mechanical connection with a car I take the classic 911 for a drive. But when I want to experience the modern technical advancements of a Porsche through some straight line speed and aggressive driving on a twisty mountain road, it’s the Turbo S with the PDK.
An auto box, I’m sorry, Is not he best in the 928.
I was lucky enough to take delivery on my Spyder 6/12/24…fantastic car and my favorite Porsche!
Pure Lotus still going strong since 1957.
I own this car now, 44k miles on the clock, only serviced by OPC, it is an awesome car.
I just bought a '90 S4. Looking forward to getting it delivered. I driven a few GT cars. I suspect this will be very special though. It so sexily unique.
Its interesting
Great job
Thank you Roger, loved this video which answered all of my concerns and questions. Keep up the excellent videos for the average driver who can afford one of these!!!
Ugly. The grill look like a street drain.
Shopping for a 987.2 Spyder to replace my MY2003 Boxster S. thank you for a great overview.
Always loved the 944 & 928 growing up, but never could afford to go up from the "vette" price range. Fast forward ... when I could afford at least a cpo Porsche, I always went a different direction UNTIL finally driving a 911. After less than 1 mile driving it, I knew Id FINALLY found my Sweetspot after 70+ cars (not a collector, just driver). The 2019 991.2 4 gts. Perfect for me!!! Nothing newer. 😀
Shared with a friend who's looking at used 997.2s & 991.1s. What is your verdict it tgat general price range +/- $20k? I've watched a lot of your videos and grreatly enjoy them. I also highly regard your opinions! Recently subscribed. Thx Roger!
Love my 2019 991.2 4 gts! No plans for newer. Perfect blend of tech and analog for me!!!
@@dirkpalmer1067 a great all round Porsche you have there 👍🏼
Had this one been available, we might not have hotten our 2024 Audi Q755 tfsi. But I must say we love the Q7. No regrets.
Got a 2019 991.2 4 gts and live it! No plans to change to newer.
Great reviews, love my 2021 Spyder!
Bought my first Porsche in 1974, a 1960 356B with a 1600S engine , ten 1967-‘73 S models and almost as many E , I also had ac’73 RS. Fifty years later I own what I consider to be the best . A 993 . Holy grail at last , even prefer it to the 1973 Carrera RS .
An exc review. Thank you
I wish the gts had a 6spd
I,ve been kicking around the idea of getting one of these cars. It seems like the perfect sports car to own with perfect power to weight ratio!🏆🏁 Thanks for sharing the seven important facts. I might actually pick up a pair of headphones to avoid more tinnitus.😊
PASM is not stability management. That's PSM. PASM is active suspension. Read the manual mate!
My sweetspot was the 2019 991.2 4 gts. Pdk for me. Always mauals when younger, even after they became slower. Not now. Pdk is too good, and Im too old for the fuss! 😆
Hi,which handles and rides better ?992 gt3 or 991.2 gt3 rs.
@@THEvedaE 992 gt3 handles better, 991.2 GT3RS marginally better ride
@@RogerBaileyOnCars wow last time i drove the .2 rs ,it was very stiff. 992 should b really really stiff
Looks great in white. M
Manual connects your soul to the car..
one steers a two pedal car, one does the three pedal ballet with a stick
I had a gt3 with manual- traded it in for the 991.2RS which only comes PDK I have come to the conclusion that the manual IS more engaging despite the “manual” paddles- of the PDK Having said that - for the odd day I hit the track in the RS it’s nice to let the car worry about shifting
Even if I was a multi-millionaire, and could afford the far more expensive and the look-at-me 911 equivalent, I'd still buy one of these.
What color is that?
Amazing how this car is beginning to get a real following as people begin to understand its character and poise, particularly after such initial resistance. Porsche just so good like that. Thought l may need to go back to an NA version at times but now having owned mine for over 5 years l really just don’t want to. It’s such a different car to the NA versions and one l have become very fond of. I can’t put my finger on just one thing, but l know it has something to do with how it all just works so well together as a package.
Nice comparison Roger. You can now get a GT3 for £160k, so it just proves that with a bit of patience you can avoid all the musical chairs to get an allocation and big £100k overs market, which has now collapsed two years later.
Really nice review.
I have a 2015 R9T and love it. I also have a 2015 Ducati 800 Classic. The Ducati always feels faster but we all know who wins. Please comment on your thoughts.
Manual, Manual, Manual. *👍
Would like to see a CB1100 review (EX or RS version). R9T vs CB1100 will remain a dilema in my head until i get myself together and buy one or the other
people who choose manual never experienced the PDK
Leave out the music. Just want to hear the engine & whatever info you have to offer
I gave up at 2:30.......... pissed at myself for not bailing sooner.
Manual for sure!
Good video but will stick with my 981.
Nice video, I love the GT4 more i think, the wing is really nice 😆
❤😂😢😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊 I know you had a good time in the Porsche. I would too, but I’ll flirt more than you. That’s why you supposed to do it with the Porsches match the ass and other to kiss your ass behind you like you said take care have a good week good video good day.
Great intro lol

Hey Roger, just stopping by after a long break from youtube. Just catching up on old car content (I have 5,000 videos on my 'watch later' playlist, ahhh!) but noticed you haven't uploaded in a while. Hope you and yours are doing well. I noticed your subs have FINALLY increased from 12k and are now at 17k. Looks like your channel was about to get on the map, and deservedly so. All the best mate. David Will enjoy the GT3 now
Thanks David and welcome back to UA-cam! I’m having a break due to poorly wife, best wishes, Roger
@@RogerBaileyOnCars Hi Roger, nice to hear from you, and sorry to hear that. Wish her a quick and speedy recovery. All the best
I like your spectator in the background at 7:21 !❤
