I love the way that looks such a nice job congrats. I also wondered what M5KID said anyone have an answer???

 

I believe 030 - PASM Sports Suspension has different shock settings, locking rear diff and lowers ride height 20 mm.

 

Where in Mass do you live Dave?

 

Dave how you liking the PDK?

 

PDK is awesome, some have criticized Porsche for being late to offer it but looks like the end results is getting it 'Right' the 1st time. In Manual mode the shifts up or down are instant no lag. The real surprise is 'Auto' w/Sports mode. I use this as my default setting unless its slipper out when I leave it in Normal mode. The sports mode logic is perfect, seems to anticipate every condition. In traffic there is no hesitation or lag, works like a perfect 'Auto' box. In spirited driving, the down shift especially coming out of corners are perfect allows me to just concentrate on the driving. Then there is 'Sports Plus' Mode aka race mode. Haven't tried this on My car since Still in break in period but did try it on the Demo car that was already broken in. Didn't have the chance to use launch control, but went up and down the gears and the transmission doesn't upshift till after 7k and you can feel the shift, it slams into the next gear... insane. Love this transmission. However, there is 1 issue, lack of paddles. Porsche went with 'Tip' like shift Controls and pattern which is the opposite of other applications including the DCT in my M3. To me it's just not intuitive to Push for up and pull to down shift as compared to pull on the right paddle for up and left for down shifts. I hope somebody offers an upgrade for this
Other than that I'm totally sold on this transmission. I don't think It's a replacement for a Std, just a excellent alternative. You've gotta try it DJ !!!

 

Dave, you nailed it. I would get PDK if Porsche ever changes the layout. I'm glad you're loving it - it's such a gorgeous car. Porsche really did a good job picking the options for this launch car. A lot of times they put all kinds of weird, unnecessary crap in the launch cars.

BTW, my wife gave me the green light after your thread (DJ can attest since my wife replied to him, too... ), but I'm going to wait to see if I'm moving to the UAE first. Thanks for pushing her over the edge!!

 

Chris,
Glad I can help you spend your money
Good luck with the move.

 

I finally made a deal today to trade in my 2 cars for the C4S like yours... I'll post pics tomorrow if it goes through. Thanks for the inspiration, Dave!!

 

The Cayman and A3 right? Please don't tell me the RS4 is going away.

 

Beautiful car Dave. I remember waaay back when when you had your C4S and I had mine. Nice to see you are continueing the tradition.
