Still think the name of this channel is so fitting for the content, its like the viewer is getting a ride along the live of Sams automotive journey and that makes that people are not mad about him selling that stunning RS6 because they understand you need the money for the Jaguar and GT3. Same with the 360 its so long on the channel and still makes stunning content because he loves the car. That pure passion makes good content. Allthougth the movie style filming helps as well.

Manual with 18-Ways is the way to go IF you have intentions are getting an RS someday and this will be primarily a road car... If this will be a heavily tracked car, I would suggest the PDK and Buckets... and if very heavily tracked, steel brakes... Very situationally dependent choice.

If you want the best lap time available go for the PDK, if you want to feel connected to the car 100% of the time go for the manual. Personally, for B road driving and touring I'd have to go for a manual... But realistically it's not a decision I'm ever likely to be puzzling over anyway...

One thing I love about my Manual 992 GT3 is the motorsports-like whip-crack sounds I can make the car do when it's warm and I'm flat-shifting. The flat-shift means this car has 3 gearboxes: Regular manual where you have to rev-match. Sporty manual where you don't have to rev-match. Practically PDK where you can flat-shift, up or down.

A good manual gearbox is always a thrill to drive. I haven’t had the opportunity to drive a 991 or 992 GT3 with such a box, but I currently use a 992 4GTS with PDK. Except on highways or in trafic jams, I love the manuel mode which allows a fair amount of involvment because you drive the car - not the other way round. Great watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is truly communicative !

I never get this manual thing, don't have a clue what people mean, it's the exact opposite for me. I feel way more "one with the car" when I'm driving an automatic, because I don't have to think about gear changes. I have a thought of what I want to do and then just... do it, it's like the car is part of my body. When I walk or run I don't have to think about that either. But when I have to change gears manually there's always that split-second in which you make your choice for a gear... and at that point the car's no longer part of me, it's just a machine that I control.

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 Personally I feel an auto / dual clutch is something that feels like it drives itself. Your ability to change gears quickly, downshift etc will determine how fast you can speed up in a manual. Overall though I just feel like driving fast with a manual and having to actually drive well, get the smooth but fast downshifts, upshifts etc adds so much more fun to driving a car hard.

Sam, the difference in ride is because the winged car is on Michelin Cup 2 tires but that touring is on Pirelli P-Zero. If your winged car comes on the softer Pirellis, you will notice the same ride improvement! There is no way to choose, the factory just specs them randomly (along with the Goodyears)

Like you, I had a 'phone call from my local OPC offering me a GT3 but a Touring. Happy days, andI've specced pdk with ceramics brakes. Perfect for the road, I think. I've now had several pdk's and they are so versatile, relaxed when pootling around town, easy to drive in flowing traffic and motorway cruising, involving when in manual 'flappy paddle' mode and 'making progress' and the fastest way round a track by far. I spent a session at Silverstone with Richard Attwood, Le Mans legend, and he was of the opinion that there is no better way to set a lap time than with the pdk in track mode and leave the gearbox to make the decisions. And he should know...

I'm with you in that I liked to be engaged with a manual vs automatic. You nailed it when you said with the automatic, you felt like you were just along for the ride. I feel that way with 99% of the cars today. I think the worst thing I've learned in the last year having gone to a new car is throttle lag. Terrible and in my own opinion a real safety concern. I miss the days when the gas pedal was directly connected to the engines throttle plate by a cable instead of drive-by-wire. Looking forward to hearing more. Again, congrats on the upcoming GT3! 🌈

I eagerly await the first livestream of Sam stuck in slow moving traffic in the GT3. That's when he'll know he made the wrong decision, and having made it quite clear he lives and drives mostly in the city I cannot understand his choice - although it is HIS choice and I respect that. Having owned a manual Porsche Cayman S for 12 years and driven many British B roads, I rarely got out of 2nd gear when having fun so may as well have had a PDK. Changing up and down just for the sake of it was never my preference. 2nd performed absolutely fine and was well capable of going fast enough without a strain. The only times I wished for a PDK was stop/start traffic with the heavy Porsche clutch. At my age the jittery left leg came on quite often making smooth driving next to impossible! Really glad I live well away from big cities and regular conjestion.........not so for Sam.

Well done Sam. The video was a great analysis with a balanced view. I suspect you made the right choice and a critically important one. I have watched several people purchase a GT3 with great fan fare, only to dump it pretty quickly. Often with the comment that it is so perfect it is unengaging on public roads. No question a track weapon of choice. I think the stick shift combined with perfect road manners and 500hp would make this an engaging experience at any speed. And you can keep it in the upper rev range when you please, or lug around town. The PDK is great for track use, or for someone happy to drive the GT3 like an expensive daily driver to drive to and from their corner office like they are wearing a nice suit.

Any manual car is great! Auto has its benefits for cars above a certain amount of power.......GT3 is around 500hp I would say PDK makes more sense. You can be part of the experience in a manual £10,000 sports car like a GT86 without needing to spend £160,000 on a high performance manual sports car. Saying that, maybe re-sale values will be better for your GT3 in manual. Many congrats on your GT3 Sam 🎉

Manual fan boys are the absolute worst of the car community. You’re telling me you(in general) wanna Sunday stroll a car with that much hp? Because I know we’re not that dumb enough to engage in high speeds using manual with that much power from a car. If u want manual u go for a car that has much lower hp. A Porsche GT3 is not for Sunday strolling. Smh

@@DrewGazin spot on , manual makes it feel like a good sports car PDk makes it feel like a supercar, plus with the steep power curve of a GT3 who wants a long gear ratio ?

I’ve always had manual cars but last month I bought a 2015 BMW 335d auto and I love it, especially when it comes to stopping and starting all the time in traffic. I’ll never be lucky enough to afford a Porsche like that, but if I was I’d really be on the fence as to what I’d go for now.

Sam I have previously had 911 manual whilst living in London and did not enjoy the constant gear changes, and it does not like 1st/2nd gear. However currently drive a Carrera GTS PDK and with the high revving engine I honestly wouldn't want to have it in manual, it is really nice just to let it run and manage itself. If I am on one of those windy hill roads I click down and run it in manual for a while and enjoy the paddles.
