At the GTG a couple of us discussed the pros and cons of PDK. I spoke about the 'crash boxes' and how I marvelled at how proficient drivers were in the past. Up shifts were so fast you couldn't time them, downshifts always need a blip of throttle.
Here's a site that describes this all very well. http://www.carbibles.com/transmission_bible.html

All in all though, I think PDK is pretty neat stuff and as a note I found I fit rather well into that white car.
