Default 997.2 PDK steering feel

Some say that the new 997.2 PDK steering is numb. What's the consensus of Rennlist.com 997.2 owners on this, particularly owners who came from 997.1.

Is there a difference in feel between the 997.2 PDK steering and the 997.2 manual tranny steering? If there is a difference in steering feel what's the reason? different steering design or different steering wheel feeling (as the PDK steering wheel is thicker)?

I have driven several 2008 997s' as well as the 2009 and find the steering on the 997.2 to be more responsive and provide better feedback. In fact I defered from a 2008 Carrera S and got a Cayman S when my GT3 was bought back but the 2009 car is a considerable improvement, steering, suspension, engine and transmission. The standard interior also seems to be upgraded. Impressive vehicle.

You'd probably have to go to Rennteam to find that out...

Gotcha! Very good A+. Let's move on. Rennlist it is!

Note: some of us post on both forums.

Definitely, and my post wasn't meant to be criticism. I think a lot of us frequent different forums and occasionally also cross-post. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Team often provides a better international perspective, and so does Six, and the latter also has a younger and more modding-oriented crowd. Dave (Coochas) recently pointed out another new forum, but I forgot the name.
