True and when Safrane did it in his garage queen he had issues with his AC compressor.
Therefore long term I think both manual and CC will be worth similar as they represent different things (racing paddlesgift gearbox or pedal and lever)
I don't see any issues with the 4200 manual, I liked mine! and as I found recently the clutches can be refurbished to as new, so can't see it being much of an issue if they were no longer available
Have to disagree here. I think given the rarity of a " working" manual that in years to come they will rise faster than the cc......jmo mind.
Thanks. I emailed Giallo yesterday with around 5 areas of enquiry on specific things but no reply as yet (but I'm on West Coast USA at moment on leave so time difference is considerable)..
Oh gosh! This is getting confusing. No sooner I had narrowed down to facelift 4200 CC or a GS the topic of manual comes up again. I can see both sides of the argument - that's why I have a 911 Turbo with a manual box - because in my opinion, a true sports car is a three-pedal affair with a stick in the left hand!
Then my research throws up the manual 4200 box was not particularly good anyway, and that clutches are getting harder to source and I dampen my desire for a manual box. Now the investment potential that manual may be just as desirable as CC and the clutches can be referred.
If the manual is a getrag box it will be similar to the older Porsche cars. That box in porsches is excellent including the G50 box giving many years of reliable transmission and easily repairable.
But right now there isn't a manual car to test ride. I will have to try out a GS and then a 4200 facelift CC to eliminate one of them from my final choice.
