Hi!
I love it to start my MT car in the garage and give some revs before start driving ..... even with the age of 45 .... and even it is a MINI Cooper S only and not a PSE equipped 911 ......
But knowing the neutral feature of the PDK now ... I really start thinking about a PDK in my next 991 .... had a MT in mind .....

Under the heading of "fun with PDK" I'll mention two things.
On a closed throttle, upshifting in 7th with go into neutral, another upshift will re-engage 7th (or 6th, depending upon road speed)
In Sport Plus Super Special Double Plus Good mode, coasting with the shifter in N, shift to D and the engine will blip to match rpm to road speed, then select 1st gear and provide a pleasant exhaust crackling engine braking slow down. This is the only smooth way to come to a full halt while in gear.
