A friend of mine just picked up a brand new PDK C2S and I am about to shop for a used 997 GT3. Many have told me that the PDK equipped porsche launches harder than the manually driven GT3. Can the PDK C2S beat the mighty 997 GT3 in a straight line race from 0-60mph, 1/4 mile etc....

GT3 is track-built, with suspension, spoilers (front/back), roll-cage, etc... for JUST THAT! It's fast on the straight and probably faster than C2S PDK with a good driver (to do shifts proerly), however, it's better than both on track, specially on high speed tracks.

2009/2010 PDK C2S will do 0-60 in 4.1. Its very easy to launch fast. However, thats not the best purpose of the car. But it will hold its own against all but the supercars / TT's that will do it in the 3's.

According to August C&D:
2011 Shelby GT500 Mustang w/550 hp and 510 lb/ft torque
0-60 4.1
1/4 mile 12.4@117mph
155mph top speed (elec ltd)
Pretty much right in the 997.2 S wheelhouse, especially considering these times were achieved by professional testers, while just about anyone who can press a button and hold the accelerator flat can achieve max times in the Carrera with PDK.

still not a porsche - folks here in MA took their total stock street c2s pdk on street tires to a drag strip and it did 1/4 mile in 12.2sec. regular 997.1street c2s did 1/4 in 12.9.
like i said - shelby needs custom wide wheels with proper tires to be able to use all that power it got.

In any event, I don't disagree with your point that a C2S PDK is a very fast car, even on street tires.

To the OP, if you want to a PDK C2S in action search you tube for "M5 boards" with "PDK" in your search.
the PDK absolutely ropes an M3, E55, and R8 among others.
then there is this race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv2GuDm_RXE
I pull for Team 911 on that one.
