Thanks, video quality is not great but can see the new nav system has a much higher temporal resolution/refresh rate

Yeah, I posted this video in the other thread yesterday. I commented that I thought this one made the car sound a lot better than the external videos. Then I found the answer in the main thread. Porsche is pumping more intake noise into the cabin.

I connected some headphones to my computer to listen to the video. Seems like a more mellow, less raw sound to the accelerating engine.
The manual transmission loses the ability to just click down a few gears to slow entering a corner with the paddle shift PDK . . . just like a "Jake brake" on a diesel truck. I am sold on PDK after 45 years driving manual transmission 911 Porsches. Sorry MT guys!
The high domed steering wheel center pad does remind me of the horn button on the Ross Cam & Lever steering wheel in the 1967 Crown Supercoach I drove back in college
