I want to be able to drive a Porsche Boxster GTS MT.
Published on: 2021.09.02
First MT Boxster GTS in a long time
The other day, I drove the Boxster GTS (981, MT) for the first time in a while in the Ashiu Driveway. Since I usually travel with my children, I don't drive a sports type Porsche very often, so this was also my first Boxster drive in several months.
I have written extensively about the Boxster GTS being a good car.So today I would like to write about a slightly different perspective than usual.
This time, after driving a manual Boxster for the first time in a long time, I was impressed.PDK is right for me, not MT.I felt that the "I'm a good person.
It was a great joy to finally be able to drive a MT car after having gone from not being able to drive one for so long, to practicing, buying my own MT car, and driving it every day.
The feeling of being in control was pleasant.MT is still the best.The other day, he felt that "theI think PDK would be a better fit for me.I thought for the first time, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
The reason for this was that I was getting ridiculously bad at shifting gears... (tears)
stillI feel like I'm going to stall when starting off, and every time I shift gears I get a jolting shock."However, I could no longer downshift before a corner, accelerate or upshift after exiting a corner, or drive in a rhythmical and crisp manner.
In a straight line, about to turn a corner, "IOh, the straight line was longer than I thought it would be.I would shift up for some reason and then immediately downshift, or conversely, I would shift without changing gears for a long time and then shift back to the starting gear.The manual makes no sense at all...I have been driving a car for a long time....
I remember the course of Ashiu Driveway to some extent because I have driven it dozens of times.Next is this corner." "The curves here are pretty tight.You know that you know what to do, but you can't breathe with the car as well as you would like.
In that regard, "theI think I might enjoy driving more if I let the smart PDK do the driving for me!I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
Remember how to run.
When I got home, I told my husband that
I drove a Boxster today for the first time in a while, and it was a very nice car, and it was fun to open it up and drive it with the MT... but I was so bad at shifting gears that I couldn't drive it as I wanted to.
I only drive a manual transmission car a few times a year these days. That would make me a terrible driver.
My husband would say.
I guess so. PreviousHe was driving a MT 320i (BMW).I guess I was more familiar with MT driving because I drove it every day, but that's not the case now.
Well, once you're able to ride a manual transmission, I don't think you'll ever forget the "manual transmission operation" itself.Maybe they've forgotten "how to run."
Once I drove him down the Ashiu Driveway with me, and he sat in the passenger seat.'Where do I upshift, where do I brake, where do I upshift?'I think it would help me get a sense of what it's like to be a part of the world.
This was the case.
You're right...I've completely forgotten how to "run". (TheMaybe I'm also still a bit dragging from the fact that I scraped my Cayenne the other day...)
If I could run better, it would be fun. I want to somehow regain my senses and be able to run like I did back then.
Just as the couple was talking about this, to their surprise!Well, I just got word from my dealer that my MT car finally has a production date!
Finally...!
Production will be finished in mid-September, and the cars will be delivered as early as the end of September.
The car I ordered was.Emblem-less or decal-applied specificationsI am relieved to know that the car will be delivered in October, since I have already set the date for the delivery.
I placed the order in mid-April and thought the car would be delivered in June, but I never thought I would have to wait this long... (laughs)
When the MT car arrives, I am sure I will drive it every day, so I will work hard on my rehabilitation so that I can regain my senses and enjoy driving the Boxster again.

You have struggled with MT for a long time.
MT lovers are not always able to drive as they wish.
Often, I make mistakes or get the timing wrong and feel sorry for myself.
On the contrary, such a place gives you the feeling that you are in control.
Basically, you just shift up on the straight and downshift to the appropriate gear before the corner.
Even if you can't heel-and-toe, GTS has auto-blipping.
Mt to make mistakes, but that's why I never get bored.
Enjoy your mistakes too (*'oo').
Mr. Tito.
Thank you!
I see...! Surely, including making mistakes could be fun and never get old!
And then I'd go back to practicing my driving, thinking, "Oh, I'm not a good driver anymore.
Being able to run in such a variety of sensations is something that is hard to find with AT.
I'll keep practicing hard!
Congratulations on the decision for the next production run of MT vehicles.
My car is also MT, so I'm as happy as if it were me.
I have one MT car that does everything for me, so even if I don't like it, I've become good at MT operation. I still stall when I drive too slowly if I'm not careful, though.
Shifting down from the gas pedal off, the driver instantly judges whether to insert the engine into second or third gear based on the shape of the corner and the feeling of the engine brake.

After shifting, to prevent gearshift shock, the driver lightly presses down on the accelerator pedal until the clutch is fully released from the half clutch.
I drive MT with these two points in mind.
You can shift up at any time you like by looking at the RPMs on the tachometer, but downshifting is a bit tricky because of the engine brake, so you need to get the feeling into your body by driving the car.
Naya.
Thank you for all you've taught me!
I'm learning a lot!
Sure, you have to pound it into your body. Even if you know the theory, it's useless if you can't do it.
I thought that I really had to ride and practice this every day.
I'll do my best!
Thank you very much! ^)
Porsche manuals are a daily training, no matter how many years you have been doing it, lol.
I have been driving a manual Porsche for more than 30 years, and I have driven more than 200,000 kilometers in total.
However, nothing can replace the feeling of being able to run as you imagined (^_^)
Maybe that's why I can't stop my Porsche.

Thank you for everything!
> I have more than 30 years of manual experience with Porsche, and I have run a total of 200,000 kilometers, but there are still times when I think that I can not run well or ride.
Even Mr. Hiroppon seems to be like that...!
It's kind of embarrassing to hear me say "I can't get on..." ^^^;
I will continue to practice daily and increase the number of moments I can ride.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Hello, mina.
Congratulations on your decision on when your new car will be in production. I'm looking forward to it!
I'm wondering what you bought, but you're pulling...lol...I think you really want to tell me, don't you? (lol)
Corona is also raging where I live, so I would like to visit Ashiu when it calms down.
I know it must be tough raising kids and blogging, but I hope you are not too tired.

> I'm wondering what you bought, but I'll pull it ~ (laughs) I can't help but really want to say it? (smile)
Thank you! Yes, you're right, I should just say it already...
My husband says, "We've gone to all this trouble to keep it a secret, so you'll just have to put up with it.
I hope to continue blogging at my own pace in the future.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Please let us know when you come to Ashi Ari.
