I feel like it'll be a new toy to enjoy with admission in the low $30's. Over time I'll be in the perfect place regarding the 911: DFI, and a transmission that suits my preferences, in a package that should be more refined if not more reliable than the first model year....

For those of you that haven't driven a VW/Audi....try it. trust me, try it....
this transmission in a C4S might be the ultimate vehicle on the planet, IMHO.![soapbox](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/soapbox.gif)
And for those of you that are on the fence: here is a thought for the next year and 1/2 -- buy an '05 997 in the low 60's....

Especially when a Porsche purchase puts the nearest service 500 miles away

I suspect that DSG in a C4S would be phenomonal. And now I'll be an informed/experienced consumer when I make the choice. I appreciate the thoughts here, and they really are making me feel better about the "plan". And as a dedicated clutch guy who does NOT deal with traffic problems, I'd also encourage you all to try the DSG. Progress is not always a bad thing, and at least Porsche intends to give you the choice. VW has a 6 speed R32 in Europe, and the folks on their discussion board are inflamed that their beloved tuner car was only brought to the US with that danged DSG.....
I'll be lurking, learning about later 997's or

Interestingly, for the sports car market, I personally think that years forward, when all cars are with some kinds of electronic-assisted transmissions, the traditional manual transmission cars will become collectible. Anyone have the same feeling? ![ducking](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon107.gif)

DSG in auto mode ("D") is very smooth, like a good auto. In manual (+/-) or S mode, it's very fast and the shifts are more abrupt. Setting for setting, the DSG is MUCH smoother and faster than the SMG, F1, e-Gear, etc. transmissions.
