Looking for feedback between two girls. Just sold my 997.2, now looking for a change and 991.2 ownership. Anyone in here jump ship from 997 to 991. I have had friends who sold their 997 for 991 and went back to 997.This will be my weekend canyon run and maybe track twice a year.

What are you hoping for in the trade (aside from a change for change's sake)?

^^^^Not sure what i am getting myself into other than want to see if PDK is for me

GrantG

Ah, gotcha. Well, I’m not a PDK guy but the one on the GT3 (PDK-S) works very well.

I did this ... I sold my 997.2 GT3 (mexico blue) back in 2017 and bought a new 2018 991.2 GT3 (both manual of course)

my "executive" feedback: 997 is a more "raw" drive, the 991 is "faster" and handles . better...

In particular:

- 4.0L engine is EPIC - I dont miss the Mezger
- the new 6 mt is amazing, the clutch is so light that my left calf has shrunk as a result of not regularly depressing the 997 clutch!
- the whole chassis/suspension and aero package is far superior - the car is simply more agile and more confident - I think this is down the to the RWS and the new (R) rear diffuser
- the FAL on the 991 is much better than the flaky 997 version

- but the car feels and is bigger ...

Larry Cable

its not! - I have a 2015 GTS w/PDK ... while its the best system out there, and I have not driven PDK-S, I really dont think you will enjoy it unless you drive it in Sport or Sport+ (at least on the regular PDK dont know about the PDK-S)

sounds like a plan - I do know of one coming up on 2/22 GT cars only ... but happy to meet in SF separately!

Oh really, where is it being held? Any link to details? Would love to join that one as well!

If you are a Manual guy you will like PDK.

Then in about 8 to 10 months you will be bored to death punishing yourself why you did not get a Manual

Summarizes how I felt with my Carrera S. Enjoyed it for a couple of months, then wanted a manual.
