With the new PDK the dual mass flywheel from the GT4 Clubsport is also introduced
The transmission ratio remains identical to that of the manual switch, but the gears 1-5 are adjusted shorter
On Spyder and GT4, the PDK increases the locking values of the rear axle lock, which increases traction. Locking values of 30 and 37 percent are now achieved in pulling and pushing operation (manual transmissions 22 and 27 percent)
How does it drive?
Yes my, the general skills have not necessarily gotten worse by the installation of an absolutely splendid double clutch. The GT4 PDK immediately feels even more awake and lively on the sometimes quite sneaky handling course that Porsche has carved itself into the middle of the Hockenheimring.

The shorter gear ratio works wonders especially in gears 2, 3 and 4. The car comes out of the bend much better and actually gives you even more confidence, simply because you can now focus completely on the track.

It's all been posted before. Hoping for some proper reviews now that there are cars out in the wild.

Hope so for you. This waiting is painful (wishing damn Amazon could take over Pcar deliveries - they would do it right!). Just dont see why (other than logistics, tax accounting, scheduling, etc...) why cars cant just jump on the first ship out and have to sit in bird poop for weeks...

I don't see anything in that link that says anything about a new dual mass flywheel.
