Rocks paper scissors
After reading too many posts in too many forums, I think that I figured it out:
PDK is better than manual, because faster is better, except with turbocharging, which is worse because it is non-linear and sounds bad, except if is has PSE, which pumps sound into the interior, which is OK in a Porsche, but gimmicky in a BMW and gimmicks, like four wheel steering in a GTR, are bad except when added to a Porsche, at which point become neat new technology, though some of that neat new technology will be deleted on the latest greatest 911R, which will be manual because manual is better and more involving than PDK.
Did I miss anything?

You can go the Big Bang Theory of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock by throwing in Cab, Coupe, and Targa into the mix...or steel vs. PCCB, or Standard/PASM/SPASM or Base/Bose/Burmester...lots of fun...

You left out "Why can't I get a GTS on the 991.2?"

Manual beats PDK
GT3 w/PDK beats manual
Turbo (on the street) beats GT3
NA beats turbo
That's all I got right now. Somebody else add to it...

Can't wait for the first guy to post his new 991.2 non-Turbo/Turbo S with a "Turbo" badge on the back he bought from Suncoast...it's got a turbo after all...

Wait, isn't the 2016 Corvaro Hellbeast better than the ****ty German dentist mobile? It's 1/10 the cost and 8x the horsepower?
Also, it can be detailed using only coarse grit sandpaper and industrial leaf blower.

If you read the comments (not necessarily the articles) on car blogs you will learn (1) manual is always better (2) the answer is always Miata and (3) the answer is never Porsche because for the same price you can get a corvette, a subaru, some tires, gas, a dog, and an ice cream cone.

And..... Porsche is always trying to screw their customers, making SUV'S is the downfall of Porsche, service costs too much, Porsche dealers are the enemy, PZeros are better than MPSS's, MPSS's are better than PZeros, PDK'S are really manuals without a 3rd pedal, manuals are for old archaic consumers who can't operate a smartphone, and on and on and on.
I too really like this thread.
