Only for turbocharged cars. It is always a good idea to let the turbos cool down for about 2 minutes after a spirited drive. Even recommended by Porsche...
At a minimum, if I have been driving relatively gently (off boost), ill let the car idle for 1 minute. If Ive been driving hard, 2 minutes. Never more than 3 minutes though.

No PDK war - I agree w/Dan that in the long run, a manual is the only choice for enthusiasts. I knew I wouldn't keep this C4S forever, so PDK was a worthwhile "risk". I'm not disappointed in the car/transmission, only in my choice not to get a manual.

I have a 6spd TT. Personally I will almost never track the car so PDK for me is useless. Plus if I were to use the paddles while driving in the city I would feel like a poser. I would just leave it in auto, but then I might as well buy a Panamera.
I have the Porsche Short shift kit (ssk) and it's worth every penny. To me part of driving a manual in rush hour traffic is part of the expereince of driving a manaul 6spd which I deeply enjoy. No complaints here. Porsche has always been about the 6speed!
Happy Holidays!

When it's not snowing or raining 
But yes I will daily drive it in the summer. I previously had an E46 M3 in 6-speed as well which I daily drove. But since this is a P-Car I might not drive as much as I use to.

Yes, during colder days it is initially more diffcult to shift into first gear. But its really not bad at all unless you're a girlie man then you may have some difficulties.

This is directly from Porsche about the SSK:
"Reduces shift travel by 25% for highly efficient shifting. Only available on customer-specified orders. Note: Only in conjunction with manual transmission. Increased shifting effort when cold."
