Thank you both for your feedback! I have a GT4 and GT3 and have always heard how great Honda shifters have been. Basically looking at the CTR for the shifter feel alone. Glad to hear the Honda shifter edges out the Porsches and can't wait to try it!
I know much has been made of the comparisons between the two. I have high praise for the FL5 transmission; however, I don't agree it's better than the transmission in a GT car. Many, myself included, would argue the manual gearbox in the GT3/GT4 is the best in the business. Where the FL5 transmission falls down is the shifter feel is too smooth and not mechanical enough, there's a noticeable amount of play in the shifter when in gear, the clutch pedal is on the lighter side, and the automatic rev-matching function is a tick (or two) slow. When you drive the Porsche and Honda back-to-back, you immediately notice these differences. For those reasons I can't give the FL5 transmission the nod. I also realize people perceive these things differently. Anyhow, would be interested in your perspective once you're able to drive the FL5.
unfortunately at that level, it's not up to the sales people. GM usually has to OK it and they usually have bidding wars or it goes to their friends&family, or requires a trade in at well below market valueso you're saying you can get me a 992 gt3 at msrp?
Been through the game a few times with Porsche, it's rough out there.Other than suspension, i don't really feel a huge difference between the different modes. I have individual set to +R everything except suspension in comfort, and when i drop down to comfort mode, i will forget i changed modes lol.
It’s much, much better out of state. Buy a car or two off of the dealer and you can get closer to that MSRP deal.unfortunately at that level, it's not up to the sales people.

Not too different from how the CTR market was last year, except the GT market hasn't cooled in the same way lol
A macan, cayenne or Taycan which will lose 50% driving off the lot, so it’s effectively still ADM…unless you really need one of those cars lol. True
There are several threads and posts on this by different members. @PointByPatrol has essentially created the FL5 track playbook. I would start with his threads and/or videos. @keller is versed as well on tracking this car.450 mile update. I love this car. I subconsciously grab the Type R keys pretty much whenever I’m about to head out. It’s just a joy to drive at any speed. I can’t think of one car that does so much so well, especially at this price point. Gonna do my first track day with it soon. Anything I need to be aware of?
Congrats!Good afternoon, it’s my first post here. Wanted to introduce myself. Picked up a 24 Sonic Gray Pearl FL5 on Saturday.
Had a CW FK8 before. Drove it for 2 years before it was traded in for a 718 Cayman GT4.
Only done about 40 miles in the FL5 but I’m so glad to have it in the lineup. The seats and shifter are world class. I test drove a new BMW M2 and while it was fast and capable, it felt absolutely soul less compared to CTR. There is a very specific feeling I like in my cars and that X factor is abundant in the new CTR. Also loving the new tech and more mature exterior look. Let me know if there’s any basic mods or QOL settings I need to know.
Here’s the car with some of its stablemates. I’m not an SUV guy so I’m amazed how the CTR can balance practicality and fun.
