Death of the 911? What's next?

I don't even know where to start. You're right, how ashamed I should be for buying the latest technology from one of the top engineering firms in the world. And to think it's attached to the benchmark sports car in the world. How embarrassing...
Next thing, I'll claim credit for inventing the wheel, making fire, etc.

Dude, are you serious? You have never been behind the wheel of a car bigger than a Power Wheels, your balls are still in your stomach and you don't know the difference between the gas pedal and the clutch -- what gives you the right to knock a guy for buying PDK?

In absolutley no way did I mean it in negative reference to Porschedoppellkupplungsgetriebe. Sorry if I spelled that wrong.

Since I started this thread, I'll go a little OT...
This is my deal w/PDK:
I think the technology is awesome. I am certain it's much faster on a track, and it's very convenient when traffic sucks, etc. The problem is that I feel like I'm "cheating" somehow. For example, when I was younger and Tiptronic had come out, I'd always feel like the Porsches with Tiptronic were "fake". Obviously there's a huge gulf between Tiptronic and PDK, but I guess that sentiment lingers. Also, my Porsches have always been my "fun" cars, so being stuck with a manual isn't an issue for me. Hell, before this car, both my RS4 and Cayman were manuals!
Over the last couple years of ownership, I've definitely warmed to PDK. The telling thing is this: if my current car were a manual, there's no chance I would want to sell or trade it. That's what bums me out...
So - Sanner, how about that GT3?

Is it that difficult? Porsche Double Clutch Gearbox - Literal translation:
Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (yes, in two words).
Just kidding
