I’d say the 458/488 and GT3/RS transmissions are equal from a standpoint of shifting speed.

However, as with everything in the Porsche vs Ferrari comparison, the p car wins on reliability.

If you speak with the guys that own the exotics Racing companies in Vegas that run both the 458 and the 991 GT3 on track, they’ll tell you they’ve had to replace the DCT in more than one 458, but not the GT3, because the Porsche is built for performance AND durability, not just impressing your mistress........

For 12 years i have driven only manuals, for me the PDK not the manual has more special feeling.

i meant that impressing the mistress is the ONLY thing Ferrari’s are good for, while the GT3 is good for many things such as impressing the mistress AND for perfect handling, better steering, being track worthy day after day, less unwanted attention on road, etc....

My wife told me i spend so much time in the garage my GT3 is “the other woman.” I told her “What do you mean? You are the other woman.”

That went over well.
