PDK or Manual

So 1.54,6 for pdk and 1.55,0 for manual in a different vid. Curious if it was the same driver and how conditions were different (temp/track). Would expect a bigger delta unless the longer ratios in the 6mt really suit this track. The manual is also slightly lighter. Who knows.

Since these are pool cars there’s really no telling what the tire, alignment and other difference were and the tests were done months apart so there really isn’t a baseline. I also contend, regardless what some here have said, that the driver is overdriving the cars and not getting the best ultimate performance. Not saying I could go better, I’m not that arrogant but the proof of the difference between 6MT and PDK will be what Porsche test drivers get and Porsche publishes or what a professional driver can do with both versions on the same day under the same conditions.

Well, my order is locked so PDK it is. This will be my first. Always good to try new things and it is a GT4 so my guess is that it will be a blast either way!. Now the wait begins.........

Is this the first GT4 with PDK - track race?
I didn't know the PDKs were even out much less the first track race?
I haven't seen a review yet!
Apparently not much faster than manual 1:55 vs 1:54.6.!
I know different day, driver, etc

Big bobble on the GT4 run with a speed zapping slide. Probably about 1 second difference on the same day, same driver, and same quality run.

I am trading my SS 1LE for a PDK GT4 next year, but I have to admit my mind keeps wandering to the upcoming C8 Z06. So, my plan is to get the GT4, keep for 1.5 years and see how I feel about it. By that time the C8 Z06 will be out reviewed, tested, and the hype will have died down some and go from there.
I have never had a P car or a mid engine sports car, so it will be interesting. I have very high expectations for the GT4 from everything I have read and seen, and if it meets them, I will probably forget about the C8 Z06. However it is nice to know I will have that option to swap down the road if I feel the need to.

That is the beauty of a Porsche GT car, if for some reason you are not satisfied with it, it is not hard to get out of without losing much in depreciation (minus any taxes you paid of course).

Weird because Christian G was able to do a 1:53.9 in a 6MT GT4 not long ago. The driving seemed much less tidy than Christian's lap though in all the cars. I think the PDK GT4 is easily capable of a 1:53 or maybe slightly into the 1:52.x with better driving.
