I prefer the ZF8 transmission over the GRC manual. You can’t out-shift a computer, and the responsiveness lets me engage with my style of driving.
The automatic is absolutely brilliant. The ZF8 is amazing, especially for tracking. I’ve had several people, including professional drivers, drive mine and they’ve been nothing but impressed. I’ve had mine since 2021, before MT was an option. I never even considered trading for an MT (and budget is not an issue).
The auto is amazing. Sometimes I wish I had an auto instead because the ZF is so good.
The ZF8 is one of the best automatic transmissions in the game.
The ZF8 is a great transmission. Automatic vs Manual is entirely subjective for this platform and in my opinion it depends on what you want to do with the car.
Manual? Great for a stock/low power canyon carver.
Auto? Great for high power, tracking, racing, etc.
Obviously the above *can* apply to both cars. You really can't go wrong with either choice. If you're coming from driving manual sports cars you *might* be disappointed.
The ZF8 is probably the best automatic ever made, surpassing many PDK and DCT transmissions in both feel and performance. It's objectively faster than any manual.

The ZF transmission is bulletproof
I had to replace my ZF steering rack. Prior to replacement the feel was prefect. Only thing is it is remarkably easier now, like way too easy. It feels like one of those early 90's vans where the power steering is overly assisted and has no feel.
944 were notorious for leaky steering racks. We replaced many ZF steering racks in 944s back in the day. Usually when they went south, they would leave a sizeable puddle of ATF, underneath the car. Sometimes you need to pull the rack boots back, and the fluid would pour out.
