Found a car very close what I want in colors and options (it's 2017 turbo cab) but no PDCC.

I will not take car to the track, it's a weekend leisure drive. No canyons where I live and I don't plan to take across the country.

So, do I need PDCC based on my driving habits? Will it be significant in 3-4 years if I decide to sell the car?

Not in a Turbo and not based on your described driving habits. My opinion is that it is not a must-have option. Now Sport Chrono - whole other story...

I ordered PDCC but did not consider it a must by any stretch.

Sport chrono is standard in the 991.2 TT.

Mister_Yogi

You're right. I glossed over the (2017 Turbo Cab) and focused on the "found one..."

Had the other thread on my mind, where the guy considering buying a CPO that didn't have Sport Chrono..

How much more lateral g's can the car pull with PDCC vs. without?

..... on the street in a cabriolet?

Not sure it's measurable or even a valid consideration to the OP.

No.....

PDDC is not just for track days!

PDDC also provides a mildly, but noticeably less-jaring ride on crappy roads. It really takes the edge off.

Given the roads I drive on, PDDC was a must-have.

If you will be driving on crappy pavement, see if you can drive a PDDC and non-PDDC car back-to-back (on crappy roads.) If your roads are as smooth as glass, then PDDC can be skipped.

I personally would not hold back on a purchase due to no PDCC. Down the road, depending on the buyer, it may, or may not, impact on any given sale.

In a Cayenne with it's high center of gravity and tendency to have more body roll, PDCC makes a very big improvement. I would not be without it on my 2012 Turbo.

In a 991 generation 911 for the way you intend to use the car, I don't think it is important at all. These cars already have very little body roll.

Some people have reported that there is a slightly artificial feeling to the handling with PDCC while others report that it slightly smooths out rougher roads.

You really need to drive both -- a T with PDCC and one without -- to figure out if this is a "must."

It's a rather personal preference. Some people absolutely prefer, others are not very enamored with the system. This is true whether you track extensively, or use your Turbo to pick up your dry cleaning.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Will see if I can drive with and without PDCC but I expect it's not easy to find on the dealer lot

Perhaps it might be easier to find a used 991.1 with PDCC on a dealer lot to set your mind at ease.

Mister_Yogi

You guys think PDCC was ticked off more than not on 991.1 Turbo builds? I feel like I came across very few that had it.

Most buyers don't know what PDCC is or that it improves the ride by relaxing the sway bars when you don't need the stiffness on smooth roads and instantly tightening them and stabilizing the car around Turns. For me they were a necessity. But the Turbo handles very nicely without them - so it depends on your own tolerance and sensitivity to a stiffer ride and slightly lowered cornering stability.
