PDK or Manual
2021 GT4. Would you go PDK or Manual? Ive always had a 3rd pedal and really do not want to switch but thought I would ask your opinion. Track use in mind of course. Also, how livable are the Carbon Fiber Bucket seats. I see that they accept a 6 point harness which is good. I have searched but cannot find any reviews on the 4.0 pdk. Thanks

The 4.0 PDK has not been released yet. Surprised your search didn't tell you that. Regarding LWBs; there are numerous posts.
P.S.
Buy what you want instead of what a poll says.

As for LWBS, what do you mean by "livable"? Go to a dealer and try them out. If they fit you, then get them if backroads + track will be 80%+ of your use. If any significant daily driving, mule, traffic, or highway duty, then get the sofas.

PDK track. Manual street. I would want to focus on driving and steering on track and not missing a shift. On the street, I am going for enjoyment and engagement. I am fine if it is slower.
LWB are fine for me. Sit in them to be sure though. I actually find them to be one of the most comfortable seats Porsche makes.

PDK for efficiency
Manual for 2nd gear grind.

About 3500 miles in 60 days, 3 track days.
LWBS for me, work and feel great. Lots of 30 minute drives to the grocery store (never in a straight line) and numerous 4-6 hour drives. I’m 6 feet @185 lbs, and keep in shape.
Flip a coin on the tranny if you have to. Both are great. I love the 6-speed manual.

Thanks for all the replies. Im like the LWBS and it will save me switching back and forth. The tranny is a toss up. I love shifting but the PDK is faster......... thats a tough one.

guess I’m in the minority. I would prefer manual for track and PDK for street. Nothing like banging downshifts on a manual transmission after the back straight at VIR. It’s highly entertaining. PDK is for traffic in cities while drinking my mocoachocolatte.
