GUT Posted 31January, 2016 Report Share Posted 31January, 2016 I'm sure PDK is better for all sorts of reasons.But I'm not trying to break records on the road.I prefer manual coz manual is fun. It's fun to change gears. It's fun to heal and toe.PDK is a bit bland or 'beige' to me. PatGF, Deejay, Blue964 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 31January, 2016 Report Share Posted 31January, 2016 (edited) I love these discussions where EVERYONE knows that there can be no universal conclusion reached nor any new information tabled that could sway any currently held views.My suggestion is that you simply acknowledge that both transmissions have advantages the other doesn't and own one of each. i never got a pm when I started here :'( maybe that's because I started without a Porsche and so was unterklasse!Coastr,Happy to send you an affirming PM anytime but I've noticed that you hold your own quite well on this forum.I really don't think it was me that PM'd Tom encouragement as I'm really not that nice and suggest it was someone kindly like Steve F, D Banger or any of the 944 guys.

turboT Posted 31January, 2016 Report Share Posted 31January, 2016 I love these discussions where EVERYONE knows that there can be no universal conclusion reached nor any new information tabled that could sway any currently held views. not EVERYONES trying to flog a PDK Pete next time I sell a manual I'll be more than happy to talk up its benefits The reality is both have their uses. If I was a standard GT3 owner I am pretty sure I'd feel the same about having a manual, but they are not exactly a daily drive car. In an RS...then I might think twice about the value of my car and take Porsches advice that I might need a little assistance changing gears. That said, if it's just going to sit in your garage/collection and get driven twice a year, I guess it doesn't matter. Most p-car owners who buy a modern car (unless it's for the track) expect to go for a drive in any weather condition, in all traffic conditions and expect to be safe and comfortable and PDK is just another modern aid to help deliver this. Definitely not a purists point of view, but means Porsche get to sell the quantity of cars they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue964 Posted 31January, 2016 Report Share Posted 31January, 2016 PDK is great on a track, but on the road they make for a boring experience IMHO. But I am a Neanderthal 996GT3 owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
