See all these people complaining however most m3s or a huge sum are sold as dct. Back in 2010 I wanted a 6 speed and I had to order it because no one had one. I know you can still order a manual, however my next car will be a dct. I bet no one would turn down a gt3 if it were dual clutch.

Porsche did a huge mistake. The GT3 has always been the car for driving pleasure not lap times. If PDK is only here because it's faster, then why not add AWD? It'll surely make the car faster. Also why not add a pair of snails to the DFI engine? Cause you know it would have shove a few more seconds of your lap time. And while we are at it, why not develope an auto-drive system for tracks since a simulated Lewis Hamilton will outpace all of us?

The only reason behind this PDK-only strategy is selling more cars at lower cost and that's it.

Not really. That's more the regular Carrera. The GT3 is supposed to be the most raw of the road-going Porsches. It's essentially a Cup that you can drive on the street.

Interesting point. If every team has moved to PDK for racing (which makes perfect sense), it actually does also make sense that the GT3 would mimic this. "Race car for the road" and all...
