[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3593796, member: 44288"] [B]So what exactly is the problem with the manual 911 GT3s?[/B] Apparently, it relates to an outdated test procedure, SAE J1470. Written in 1992, it was designed for a time when cars only had four or five gears, and has since been superseded by a more modern procedure called J2805. That new test, which [URL='https://www.carscoops.com/2021/03/porsche-911-gt3s-shark-blue-paint-was-inspired-by-a-superyacht/']the manual GT3[/URL] can pass, dates from May 2020, and should have been implemented by now. But it still hasn’t been adopted in California. It’s worth noting that this legal issue doesn’t affect sales of non-GT3 manual-equipped 911s or manual [URL='https://www.carscoops.com/2021/05/porsche-718-boxster-and-cayman-get-price-hike-two-new-colors-for-2022/']718 Boxsters and Caymans[/URL] in California. And buyers in other states are still able to choose between manual or PDK transmissions for their GT3s, which will start shipping in the fall, the Touring arriving slightly later, in early 2022. Typical. [/QUOTE]
