Yes it does. Wish it had manual trans, I'm really hesitant to go back to a PDK for my weekend car. Nothing against PDK.
Is PASM standard? I've often seen it listed as an option but also heard it came on all?

Don't sell yourself short, wait for the manual...

Certainly not the end of the world, but it also depends on how it was done...5 seconds after starting a cold engine under load? No thank you!
I can see accidents happening, but I am still at zero in all 6 ranges. I wonder how many are?

Absolutely this
I initially "saved" $15K by buying a PDK GTS thinking I will love Launch control and lightening fast shifts only to find myself Bored within a few months. I mitigated that boredom by always adding Mods and new things to the car hoping to keep the same excitement.
I am willing to bet PDK owners out spend Manual owners ( on Mods and additions) by 5 to 1
I eventually realized I wasn't missing excitement, I was missing engagement, a yr later, I have not even spent a $1 on mods, bone stock Manual is all I need to have fin and feel engaged (excited)

haha so true! i did happen to find the PEFECT sized coffee mug for those wonky and overengineered cupholders though. it's actually a snug and secure fit. but i am sure to seal up that thing when i get off the highway and on some twisties.

I used "auto" mode about as much as I used the cup holders!
Actually my ratio for both is identical- get on Interstate early to get to good roads.. put in Auto, drink coffee out of only mug that will fit… get off interstate.. empty mug and stow, empty bladder, lower top, select manual, Sport + .. go have fun.
