Default transmission

On the verge of getting a turbo and not sure if I want a traditional 6 speed or PDK. Car will be driven daily and tracked once in a while. Are the PDK transmissions more delicate or fragile? I understand that shifts are naturally faster but is that the only advantage? Can you guys help on the little dilemma I'm having? Thanks.

If 0-60 times are important to you then get the PDK. Also the advantage on the track with PDK is that you have both hands on the steering wheel and that you're faster all together. Also PDK is good in traffic because you don't have to keep depressing that clutch.
If you're going with the 997.2 Turbo S I believe it is available only with PDK.
Or get the manual like I would for the fun of rowing thru those gears.
