Default The 991 guys are agonizing over PDK or Manual

Now that they have the option of the third pedal again (Thank you Porsche!), the guys ordering new GT3s are agonizing over which way to go.

It's interesting to lurk over there and see what they get all worked up over.

Sheesh. Yes, I know PDK shifts gears faster than Hillary can take a payoff, but I am a dinosaur and as such I "like" the extra pedal.

If I were ordering a new GT3, I'd check the manual box in a heartbeat. Get it while you can is my motto.

As Bill O'Reilly phrases it, What say you?

Add me to this list. When I get in my GT2, I want to roll and change the gears - just like what a Sports Car is supposed to do...engage the driver.

I'm looking to add a 991gt2rs or rumored "cup edition" will definitely choose PDK even if offered with MT option. A bit of variation is never a bad thing.

6 speed not 7speed
i take pdk over stick for 991 GT variants
for stick, get a 7GT or 6 GT or any of the air cooled
the 991 GT engine, drive it with pdk, just floor it and you will see why it is not a car that you want a manual shift. it's not aobut speed, lap time etc etc. it's that that engine is a pdk engine.

I've never owned a car with a PDK. I'd like to try it!

Since we're dreaming (or at least a lot of us are)-

1 in Orange, stick
1 in Blue, PDK

Done.

No agonizing here. If I am fortunate enough to get an allocation, getting PDK.

I would skip the GT3. As long as I am dreaming, a manual RS for me.

Glad I'm a luddite with no Pcars from this decade
