But on a new or newer car, PDK's are just plain better, and I'd buy one in a NYNick minute. Cleaner shifts, faster, just as much fun. Quite astounding, actually.
That is, if I were ever going to buy a newer Porsche again. Which I'm not.

A friend of mine sold his 86 Carrera and bought a 991, with PDK. He was all excited about the PDK, but then his wife bought a new Jetta, with PDK, said it felt about the same. He said driving the 991 only felt like a Porsche when he pushed it to the limit, but it normally felt about like the Jetta. And this guy had Porsches since they were new, Speedsters, 550's, 911S's, even a 906, so he knows what a Porsche is supposed to feel like.
