VIDEO: 997 GT2 vs 997.2 Turbo
#32
Thanks for the video. It looked to me like the PDK driver was getting an early jump. To me PDK wouldnt have anything to do with it as when you go you get on the throttle rather than shift to BEGIN the race.
If it was a fair start then the PDK is truly the monster people say it is... like many, I expected the GT2 to destroy the turbo... not sure why, maybe marketing has us convinced that the GT2 is the end all to the 911 chassis..
On another note: the Porsche exec that was quoted as saying that the GT2 & 3 would never get PDK because they are true track cars not daily drivers. Is he serious? From my experience and car ownership, as well as observation, PDK/SMG/F1/DCT whatever you want to call it, the computer does it faster and more accurately than the human, EVERY TIME. Isnt a track about accuracy and consistency? If so, the 2 & 3 NEED a PDK. Screw tradition. Make an 6 speed option for the whiney "true enthusiasts" as they call themselves...
Give me 75 millisecond shifts, or give me death
