The gas pedal assembly is not one of the all-time great feats of Porsche engineering.

Based on what you've written, and I don't mean this to sound dick-ish, but are you sure you should be driving a high performance vehicle? Your explanation is pretty vague and it almost seems like you're nervous to let er rip

I think you and the OP miss the point of Sport+ with PDK on the 991S. It maps drive train management towards what one might use in race conditions rather what is appropriate for typical street use. It is not mapped for coasting. In "automatic" setting, left to itself (rather than manually shifted) it is sudden and harsh unless the throttle is fully applied (accelerating) of not at all (braking). Sport+ is easily controlled at less than full throttle for street driving in manual shifting mode. Sport mode better manages the need for less abrupt shifting and works better in Automatic mode in that application. Personally, I am glad the option is there. I don't need to have less available than what can be provided, given the choice of how to use the options.

But I don't know if it is fair to say I shouldn't be driving a high performance vehicle.
Wouldn't you rather cross me and my car in traffic, an (maybe overly) analytical and cautious driver, than a hothead that floors it regardless... ?
