Same BS as to be a real Porsche the engine has to be in the back... The 911 manual transmission luddites can sit in a corner and all stroke each other with how superior their cars are... I never like the elitist attitude that some (not all) Porsche owners have.. Then we have the Porsche owners who turn up their noses and other Porsche owners because "it's not a proper Porsche". Really lame...
Me, I just love cars, I have favorites, and I have reasons for driving what I drive. I don't judge others on their choice, if they have passion for their car, I have respect for them... NASCAR, drifting, drag racing, not really my choice, but good for you if you love them.

And with the above post, this thread should be locked!

No one is dissing PDK's a I think most commentators have said that's what they'd have if there were primarily doing city driving or looking for a ring time. That said we're not Luddites for preferring a more engaged driving experience, in fact I hope one day to get a GT4 - nothing ludditish about the tech in that car IMO!!
For driving experience I prefer a manual transmission... I also prefer a 6 point harness, full containment seat, nets, rollcage, helmet, adjustable brake bias, full HD video, Hoosiers, Hawk Blues/PFC, Castrol SRF, pit radio system, and a telemetry system.
I think I am going to retire to the back seat of generic Lincoln limo or similar... and drink bourbon manhattans in the back seat while I watch purist owners crawl up and down the DVP exerting their left leg and their freedom of automotive choice. Who am I kidding, I drive a Hyundai minivan filled with pizza flavored goldfish crumbs, rotting apple cores, kids, and empty juice boxes. You want to talk about engaged driving? Go nuts... I am jealous that you have the choice...

I thought the engine in the GT4 is not in the smug position of the proper Porsche?
