clearly dont understand what was said..
take a 997.1 and downshift to proper passing gear and pass a truck.. lets say this takes 15 seconds..
take a 997.2 and floor it (downshifts faster than you ever could) and pass a truck.. and use the same 15 seconds as comparison.
in the 997.1 the time to shift would not allow as much accel...
in the 997.2 the minimal shifting time means more accel=faster speed at end.
so in the old car if you drove a certain way and u drive that same way in 997.2PDK u are going faster in the pdk if you dont glance down because u dont realize the accel/shifting times.

Personally I've never felt the need to shift out of 5th gear and apply anything near full throttle to overtake any truck on the road. ROFLMAO

My interpretation of what you said is that you don't know which gear to grab if you're after maximum accelleration to pass a truck.

If there is a 35 mph gap going from a 6-speed 997.1 to a PDK 997.2 then either 1) you can't drive a stick 2) your 997.1 was seriously broken or 3) your numbers are just way off.
I'm not being a jackass, I'm pointing out the ridiculous nature of thinking that the PDK is give you an extra 35 mph in a 15 sec pass. A friggin GT2 wouldn't put that kind of gap!
Obviously a 997.2 S PDK is faster than a 997.1 6-speed. Just get the numbers right friend.
