There is nothing like the kick in the butt you get from a manual transmission. Where the paddles excel is maintaining the revs between shifts.
All the paperwork and funding complete. The car will arrive the Tuesday after Labor Day. I will post pictures after it's cleaned up
It's all a little serendipitous, I turned 50 this year and to celebrate I now have the Rolex seadweller SD43 which marks the 50th anniversary of the seadweller (one of my favorite watches and I have four versions of it now) and the 991 911 R which marks the 50th of the original 911R from 1967.

Maybe based on the above I just find an 50th anniversary pocket calculator and call it a day
proper heel/toe rev matching when downshifting is an art....taken for granted with paddle shift cars.
The only real trouble with Porsche manuals is the stiffness in the clutch mech, done for fast return of the peddle, I suspect. The problem is that they really are stiff, requiring considerable down force. This makes the manuals very tough to enjoy when used for long periods in city traffic. Your gear changing leg really feels the strain..

+1....nothing quite like nailing a downshift with a perfectly rev matched engage...hit the apex..then punch the torque....
Nothing like the burble of a paddle downshift in a tunnel driving an AMG!!
