Revival of the Manual Transmission
|
For those of us that did not like the look of the joystick style shifter, there is still hope.
Porsche has held true on their promise of offering the 992 with a 7 speed manual transmission. By opting for a manual transmission you also get the Sport Chrono Performance Package.
What do you get with the Sport Chrono package? Well you get extra selectable drive modes, a sport mode for PASM, active engine mounts, and of course a chronograph on the dashboard.
