Now if the RS came with PDK then that would change my mind.
Has anyoen driven the A3 with the DSG which I assume to be use the same hardware as the PDK...apparently it is the cat's a$$ as far as shifting goes, better than even the Enzo's.

RR, that article is in autocar this week.

The review really likes it although he didn't push it around the ring. Main point he made was that it was great on the road. Track verdict not yet decided.

Does being a "member" give the post and opinion more credibility?

Wow, you are fast on the computer search. Please don't let the team down by displaying that kind of speed on the track.

It looks like the new GT3 NBR lap time is 7.45, announced by Porsche this weekend.

Do you have a web-link to some official documentation from Porsche that states that?
