Quite a change from this statement. Careful... you may ruffle some feathers in this forum. 
I'm not afraid to admit when I may have been less than correct.

Just got back. What a great event.
Got to drive 4 different 911's as well as a Boxster Spyder. (I could have tried the Cayman too, but opted to stick with the same instructor in car.) Got speeds of up to 115 at the end of the longer straight in the 911 following the instructor and got to go as fast as I wanted in the Spyder on the short course.
All cars were PDK sport plus equipped.
If I'm not mistaken hell froze over after lap 2. I do believe I am a PDK convert.

I'm with you: PDK is the future.

Heard yesterday they had two 6 speeds with rest of 911's were PDK's. However, someone cooked the clutch on one 911 yesterday, so PCNA decided to only use PDK's now for all cars. Not sure if they will go back to 6 speeds for these future events. Their challenge is some drivers really don't know how to drive stick. Agree, PDK is great.

The same also happened at Fontana. And many of these guys are actually Porsche owners and they truly are convinced they know how to drive stick...

I've got a great tale from the event that perfectly describes one drivers ability.
As I really don't mean any disrespect, I'll keep it off the public part of the forum.
