PDK-S

Can someone tell me the TECHNICAl differences between the two versions? Thanks

Manual. Like the PDK but still long for a manual.

Love my manuals, and will always have one for street. But, for those of us who exclusively track one of our cars, one cannot forget that clutch wear and tear is a non-issue with PDK. I have my car in the shop again with clutch/clutch fork/slave cylinder/not yet sure issues, and this is money and track time. The word is PDK trans wear even with hard track use is minimal to none. Oh, and it's faster. My next car may just be a twin-clutch. And I am someone who practices and LOVES manual rev-matching.

DEFINITELY PDK-S !!!!

I love A good Manual like my R8-one of the best

PDK-S is also very unique and quite a hoot. I also do love the paddle neutral feature

I think for this engine because it revs so quickly the PDK-S is more ideal

Some times it is hard to let go of the past and embrace the future

As far as I know, shorter stacked ratios and heavily revised programming.

I remain really surprised by the number of people who still want H-pattern manual transmissions. Porsche race cars haven't had a traditional manual in 10 years.

The only way I'd buy a another car with a manual transmission is if it were required by a race sanctioning body or I felt it had tremendous investment potential.

Me too! Very surprised! The number is too low!!!! Way too low!!!! Which is sad really...

You had might as well be asking if I preferred angels, fairy dust, or unicorns. The GT3 doesn't come in a manual. Get over it.

Going to have to reprogram my spin-out muscle memory. Instead of "both feet in," it will be, "figure out how to pull in both paddles and brake while the wheel is spinning around from the last failed attempt to catch the slide gone bad...."

You won't have to worry about finding the paddles, at least. The PDK-S clutches will disengage automatically; I found that to be true in a spin even with regular PDK

Indeed very true. Your clutch in the GT3 disengages automatically while you are trying to Brake after a failed slide recovery. I found this out during my last autocross last week. I have not experienced that in my 911 4S yet, but if Mike says it does then it does. Mark

Good info

This MT vs PDK debate won't die, but for me ... it's a recognition that the tech gets better, and still I like the nostalgia of MT. So my solution, a personal one, after owning several 997 GT3's and a 991 GT3 before the fire, and several Turbos, is to own a Boxster GTS MT, for the nostalgia, mid-engine and "instant vacation" that a roadster gives you with top down, and a 2015 GT3 for the thrill of what I find to be the best embodiment of a 911. Boxster arrivers mid-October, GT3 before Jan 1.
