To the OP, have you considered trading your PDK T for a manual T?

Pickings are slim now, but you could potentially be near even on a trade. The gearbox with short shifter and tighter ratios might be more "fun" than the longer gearing of the 718 GTS.

Something like this https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...055_isFeatured

Or maybe something will pop up from a Rennlist member soon.

I'm definitely thinking about this idea but looks like all the manual T on market are at least 15k$ above the value of my PDK T....

Agreed, and most of us manual T owners don't want to sell - but, if you put up a WTT post on the marketplace, you might get a bite from someone looking to trade for less than that (either for a T or 718 GTS).

In fairness, autocross is likely not the best tool for a 718 vs 991 or 992 comparison. Short and twisty plays directly into the hand of the mid-engine. The 992 C2S is considerably faster (>2secs) than even the 718 GT4 around the Barber Motorsports track. So it depends what OP is using it for.

I may be trading in my manual T via the dealer but would be open to selling/trading here...I've barely started doing any research on current values or what's going on in the market.

Still waiting to hear back from my local dealer.

Can see making this trade, as I'm a huge fan of the GTS 4.0 after a week in one for a comparison test.

If you don't need the rear seats/interior space…

would do it due to getting a better driver's car. number wise if carmax is offering you low 90, p dealer should be able to do mid/high 90 & 4.0gts probably is going for msrp these days. Depends on your spec you should be able to pull off an even trade.
