No way will a 6MT G8X achieve 3.1 to 60mph. The lighter 992 C2S 7MT with all the weight on those fat rear wheels isn't even that fast.
If they got the slightest decency, they should put CFRP driveshaft standard into 6MT variation. But I highly doubt this will happen as they quietly removed them from 2017/10 and onwards but kept for CS variants.

They haven't mentioned whether M2 CS has CFRP driveshaft either, which I assume it means no.
