Correct shifting operation for Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2) manual car.

Porsche 911

GT3 shifting operation

My husband drove his GT3 home the other day, as usual, and he said something very interesting.

Six months after delivery.Today for the first time I figured out how to operate the manual on my GT3 (991.2).Wow! I knew that in the case of the late 991 GT3, "you don't have to let off the gas pedal when shifting up", until now.When shifting up, he didn't pull out the gas pedal, he just kept it constant and controlled it.No, it's not.
But it's not, just like driving a car with PDK.When the accelerator pedal is kept lightly pressed, it shifts up and down like a PDK. and it upshifts as if it were a PDK.The sound at that time is very pleasant.
I learned for the first time today that the late 991 GT3 manual doesn't let off the gas pedal or make it constant, rather it upshifts while stepping on it.

And. Heh.

How much do I have to pull it to get it to that RPM? Do I have to pull it a lot?" I asked.

No.I can do about 2000 rpm or more.Wow. As expected, at 1000 RPMs, the computer doesn't seem to be able to adjust the RPMs. So even just accelerating around town, I can hear this bashful sound when shifting up. Before, I used to hear the sound of "If I want to hear the sound of the GT3 engine, I have to rev it up to 4000 rpm... but I don't usually have a situation where I can rev it that high...I thought I was going to be able to enjoy GT3 in the city, but I've learned how to enjoy it without having to do that.

And.

Shifting up a gear in a Boxster without letting off the gas pedal is a big deal, butLate 911 GT3 manuals have unique controls.I think that's why I said, "That means that I am a good person. I said, "Which means thatThe Boxster will autoblip ON when downshifting to match the rotation.Yanno. That feels really good, but you mean it's like a shifted-up version of that?" I asked, and my husband replied

Oh yeah, just like that! It feels so good. Just like a human PDK!

He said.

A Porsche you can't understand until you drive it.

My husband was soaking it all in.

But I wonder if these things aren't also known to the sales people at dealerships.When it comes to GT3, it's hard to get a chance to ride it.I think it's a good idea. I don't think many GT3 owners read the manuals. So, there may be people who are driving without knowing about it. I think there are many other things that you don't notice until you've been driving for quite a long time.

He said, "I'm sure that's true.

I also learned something that I didn't know until I drove a Panamera or a Boxster, or a "I've been riding without realizing it for a long time and learned about it from talking to other owners.There are many things that are "not so important". For example, it may be too detailed to be of any importance, but...

The manual in the 981 Boxster has auto-blipping ON in Sport Plus mode, but the718 has auto blipping ON from sport modebecomes
In my house, the Panamera Turbo is set to have the rear spoiler out in visual mode, but when I arrive home, stop the car, and change the visual mode back to normal mode, the rear spoiler does not retract. If the mode is switched back while driving, the rear spoiler is retracted.
The 911 (991.2) manual does not require the driver to remove the accelerator pedal when shifting up.
The manual for the 911 (991.2) isWhen the engine stalls, the engine will not start automatically even if the clutch and brake are depressed.The engine has to be turned off and restarted.(The 981 Boxster automatically starts.)
In the case of MT hill starting, there are hills where auto hold is applied and hills where it is not.(Gentle subtle slope)You should make sure that the display is on before you start the car because there is a
interpoint (interword separation)(I only know about the Panamera.)Without the sport exhaust feature, there is not much of a change in sound between normal mode and the sport and sport plus mode.

And so on. These things can only be understood by riding in the car.

I am sure that the weekly exchange of information among car enthusiasts at Ashiyu Driveway is also a good example of the "I'm a car enthusiast, I'm a car enthusiast, I'm a car enthusiast.Share information that only the owner of the vehicle can know, which cannot be found in catalogs or test drive articles on car websites.I guess it's because there's value in the "I" place.

Even with all this riding around, I'm sure there are still some features and such that I don't know about. Maybe I should read the manual one more time, cover to cover (lol).

    Hoho, interesting.
    I didn't know it had such a feature.
    I'll give it a try.
    My biggest worry is whether I will be able to hold back on my long ingrained habit of letting off the gas pedal when disengaging the clutch (lol).

    I am an analog person...
    By the way, the downshift auto-blipping is only available in Sport mode.
    Is that function when shifting up also only in sport mode?

      Thank you for everything!

      It will also be in normal mode.
      I took the GT3 for a test drive today, and like you said.
      I had gotten into the habit of pulling out the gas pedal, too, and it was surprisingly difficult.

      I pulled on the straightaway at Ashiu and could barely make it in 3rd-4th gear.
      It seems a bit difficult for me to do it on a normal road ^^;
      3-4

    I always read with great interest.
    This time I am having difficulty with "while stepping not constant". Does it mean "while stepping on the gas pedal more than constant" or "while opening the gas pedal more than constant"? If the car is designed for sports driving, it seems unlikely that the driver would upshift while pulling out the accelerator pedal.

    By the way, the auto-restart mentioned in the list of tips in the latter half of the article, just to let you know that on my MY2019 bare Carrera, it restarts as soon as the clutch is depressed, just as it did on the Cayman.

      >Do you mean while stepping further than constant, while opening more?
      Yes, that is the feeling.
      If it is constant, it can shift up smoothly, but it doesn't seem to upshift like PDK with a "pashun! but it does not seem to upshift like PDK with a "pash!
      I haven't gotten a sense of it yet ^^;

      So the auto-restart would be if it were a Carrera!
      So you mean it doesn't have a GT3 on it!
