Agreed. The C8 becomes less amazing at sub-60 once you consider its aluminum instead of an engine bolted to a carbon fiber tub.

Nice

Or sell the 911 GT3 with only a PDK, follow up with the 911 R (which immediately begins selling twice sticker) and then wait a year to add the manual to the GT3.

Most interesting in this interview is mention of a proposed entry-level M3 and M4 apparently called “pure” with RWD standard, fewer frills, bells, and/or whistles, a lightly detuned engine, and perhaps most importantly a manual transmission.

Legally, the emperor has no clothes here, because this letter has no effect in a court.

It has a manual transmission and weighs 3100 lbs

Basically it’s a retro throwback to obsolete technology

Agreed, it’s only worth it if you want to claim you’ve built a super car.

This is depressing. I was really stoked about this build.

Odd—typically Germans are known for quickly adapting to change course and for compromise instead of idealism.

True.

I am now dismissed.
