Surely it will have rev-matching as well, but again, just wished DCT would've been an option.

the key question will become price for me, between the base vs comp.

if the base (474hp) comes in around 70k, and they slap a 8-10k upcharge for the competition (closer to 80k for a base competition), i think I may have to seriously consider the possibility of a CPO 992 S for around $100k in a couple of years.

but I'm hoping I'm wrong, and the competition "base" price will be closer to 70k than to 80k
You'd be surprised how good the ZF 8 speed auto is.

It doesn't punch as hard as the DCT on upshift but it's not slow by any means.

I went through 3 of the ZF 8's in my ISF and RCFs

I'm extremely tempted by an AWD M3, but a P-Car or '18 GTR would be in the mix
