I went with DCT on my M and missed the manual. Since then I've been buying manual Porsches. I think the dual clutch deals work better on some cars than others. It just fits the character better. However, I haven't been able to get myself engaged to driving with the paddles in the M. I just feel like a tool driving around flipping paddles, so 99.99999% I just flip it to auto. I want to like these gear boxes, but it doesn't feel natural to me. Maybe I'm just a slow adopter.

Agreed. Skiing has a longer learning curve but allows bump skiing, rapid fire turns and face shots in deep powder. Friends ask me why I don't snowboard..I tell them doing from skis to a board is like going from a Ferrari to a pick up truck. Now I can say it like going from a GT3 to a pickup truck.

Manual is like sex; impossible to imagine there could be something better.

Then you try PDK-S in the GT3, and unexpectedly find that there's something better than sex.

This is killing me, now I really can't wait to try out PDK-S.
