You did the right thing dochusar. No excuses needed. Popping instant shifts with the PDK, up or down with the corresponding intake or exhaust sounds is a blast. Just be sure to wave to the MT guys you pass.

Drove a GT3 with interest but that clutch is much more painful than the base. I guess I will have to settle for a PDK and use paddle shifters. I opted for SC.

That's legit. I have bad knees and ankles. The time will come when I can't effectively operate a clutch and I'm sure I will be driving a PDK or equivalent.

But that day is not today.

Enjoy your new ride.
