Looks like the 992 GT3 manual won’t be allowed in California due to noise regulations, and owners will have to switch to PDK instead. 
 

Sounds mad, and I never realised having a manual transmission made your car that much louder 

I’d certainly be unhappy if my name were down for a 992 GT3/Touring 

A bit on why below

From what I have read so far the new 992 car is louder than the previous 991.2 due to the ITB intake system and pretty low restriction exhaust system when the valves are fully opened  , dont believe that make any difference with manual or PDK , but this video is a good example of the glorious sound it makes ....

I believe it has to do with how they carry out the official noise testing.

With a manual the testing specifies a particular gear and RPM whereas the 'Auto' test is not carried out in the same gear.

The governments are just pushing the agenda for electric vehicles, maybe why the windfarm is at the track to supply the next gen race cars where noise won't be an issue - how exciting - NOT !
