You really feel the gears you go through. It probably doesn't make sense, but it just appealed to me. I haven't driven many 915 or G50 cars, so it could also be the car itself.

We're all different mate, noone is right or wrong with this sorta thing. I just felt the G50 was better for quicker and more positive gear changes in the hills, though now I mainly just use third gear where I drive, as my car seems to have a bit more torque than other 3.0/3.2 911's I've driven 5 hours ago, Peter M said: Bloody hell Lee, I KNOW I'm right, I expected to hear some spirited debate not just agreement! 😊 I was also expecting a rehash of the eternal and unanswerable question: "Which is the better driver's car, the SC or the 3.2?"!

I’ve never driven a 915 car (mines a g50 and feels just fine) but I sat in @Dalai car one C&C morning yonks ago (that’s pre-cv19 folks) who has a wevo in his 915... oh boy, felt so tight and concise.

Very envious. ps. Well, I think it was his car... 🤔 I prefer the feel of a good 915 to a good g50. That's doesn't mean it's better....just that, imo, it offers a bit more feel & feel is, for me, more important than outright performance. I feel the g50 makes the driver one more step removed from the action. However I also prefer a nice 901 to a nice 915....again, feels lighter and that little bit more connected. No doubt wrt engineering, there are very good reasons that Porsche moved on (not the least of which is that each iteration can handle more hp for a longer period). Good thing we have so many opitons/versions to choose from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 26July, 2020 Report Share Posted 26July, 2020 I think Porsche probably moved on to sell more cars to people who can’t drive and reduce warranty claims. Same reason all car companies like selling pdk gearboxes. That and to handle more power to push heavier cars. tk111 and Moobs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9fan Posted 26July, 2020 Report Share Posted 26July, 2020 Just a note here that may be of interest - not only does the 911 have the G50 gearbox but it is in the 968 as well ! I don't know of anyone that has done a short shift kit for it (968) though. Troubleshooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe there has been a fair amount of interest in it. Seeing as you dirty rotten virus ridden mainlanders can't come and have a look easily, if anyone is seriously contemplating this car, and wants more info, detailed pictures etc, let me know. As I'm on the Board of Directors for the museum I do get some special privileges which may prove useful 😁 Oldskl60 and 3legs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
