Thumbs up Drove the new PDK!!!!

What can I say Porsche has done it again. It's really quite depressing how much faster PDK is that a normal 6-speed. Not sure what I would do if I was to order one.


It's super smooth and seamless in normal mode and lightening quick in sport plus! Anyone that has it on order will not be dissapointed!

Sorry I dont have any pics. I wasnt going to take my finaces camera since it has a pink case lol

Hey DJ one of the only problems. There just real big buttons basically. It is probably easier to drive but its certainly not as cool and does not feel as special.

On another note if you just leave it in drive thats supposedly the quickest! I drove the car through lots of twisties and it never shifted. Kept it in second gear almost the whole time!

I'm with Simba...but I really heard only great words about this new PDK.
But is still true that a Porsche MUST BE manual

did you just realize this? 99.9% of the complaints re: PDK so far have been about buttons vs. paddles.

From what I understand PDK is designed to be optimal when driven like an automatic. Perhaps they are discouraging the manual use of changing gears.
