Re: 981 vs 991 - Manuals
One of the more perceptive comments (paraphrased) says the 6 speed manual is more optimal than the 7 speed manual (concerning ratios, I think.) It also has single purpose construction as opposed to the 7's shared elements with the PDK. The 6 is a bit lighter, too, although the Torque Vectoring option's LSD likely adds that weight back; something like 4 pounds. The less valuable comment(s) bring up the Mustang comparison. Go ahead, benighted soul: just look at performance numbers and dollars, and buy yourself the Mustang.
