Suggestion
you still have 3 pedals and have to change gear, but you can choose auto blip or not , win win in my book, esp chasing down GT3's on track in 2015 ;-)

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
24 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Certainly sounds very focussed - which is what many called out for - but also very compromised for the road, which those wishing to cover significant off track mileage may be less keen on. A back to back with an Exige V6 would be very interesting.
I've just called my OPC and ordered one. I am fourth on the list apparently.
Not sure why the dealer principal wanted me to pay my £10k deposit in cash though. Had to meet him in Tesco's car park at lunchtime. Any ideas?

Does anyone know if any OPCs still have any GT4 availability left?
Thanks!
RHD cars seem to be sold out for now.
Many european OPCs have LHD cars available. Italy, Switzerland, France, Poland, etc...

Article says....
We turn off stability control and, while we’re at it, hit the Sport and exhaust buttons, too.
Now the twin tailpipes speak up with the rusty voice of the Marlboro Man, and
the black box blips the throttle prior to downshifts.
Ready to scare the locals?
=====================
Am I reading that right?
What's the point of having a manual gearbox if the car blips the throttle for you on downshifts????
Massive disappointment if that is really what it does!
you have a choice, auto blip works very well, you don't have to have it on.
no one and I mean NO one can threshold brake every bend every time to the max.
So it gives you that extra chance to nail the braking when on track
the 911 CUP cars all fitted auto blippers from 2012 onwards, no one is that good.

I thought it was auto-enabled when you hit the sport button, is it a separate switch then?

Yeah but that's where the fun is (for me anyway) getting it right occasionally is SO MUCH MORE rewarding than getting it right every time automatically

Boring! CUP cars are irrelevant, they are chasing lap times and trying to win a race!
Scooty100 said:
For those going with PCCB is there the same concerns with regards using them for track driving as there have always been with older GT3's?
If you are going to track your GT4 a lot then I would say go for steels!

Ok gotcha I was wondering if they had made them more track friendly now

Not that simple. A good driver will trim the car with heal and toe. Slightly under reving to suit the corner/condition of his tyres etc.
If i had the option on a road OR a race car, i'll take a heal and toe downshift set up over an auto blip. Flat shift on upchanges but a manual downshift. The 997 Gen 1 cup was excellent in this respect but every time a driver jumped in the VIP car they invariably blew the clutch, damaged the gearbox or stacked the car by locking the rear wheels. It was a bit pathetic actually. In the end, Porsche stopped entering the VIP car in races. It was costing them a fortune to run!
Heal toe downshifting is one of the few skills that cannot be replicated by electronic intivention because it isnt just about a perfect match of revs to ration. Its a lot more than that
while nice on paper, most people will do 4 or 5 track days a year in their road car.
"Slightly under reving to suit the corner/condition of his tyres etc. "
that is not going to happen even for a skilled road driver imo.
I have pretty much nailed H&T now in my R but to think about "Slightly under reving " while threshold braking is above my skill set.
people say PDK helps them focus on driving the car faster which I know to be true for a novice, to a point it gets too easy.
I think auto blip will help me on track and I'll keep the skill on road as I don't want the thing blipping every change though the villages lol
Time will tell but I drove the GTS manual on track with auto blip on and it's a good system imo. really allows you to keep the ABS from cutting in and max out braking.
I have a serious concern on auto blip. I generally heal and toe alot, always in the Porsche and even in the Defender! sometimes double clutch heal and toe. however I've been doing it since my first car an MG Midget which lacked some sychro...
Modern gearboxes will accommodate a slight mismatch with he syncro. I would suggest people will find it harder to learn once they have been driving normally for a while. I struggle to get left foot braking smooth but thats because I never learnt to do it form the off..
