My Carrera GTS and Friends 458

Had my GTS tinted a few days back, and my mate snapped some pics of the beetle next to his fiat ... i did drive the 458 and all i can say is ... one amazing car, makes PDK seem ancient ... lol













PS: the GTS is really starting to shine, this morning was able to get to some good numbers on the speedo and it just amazes ...

The GTS is one of my favourite 997s and yours really is beautiful.

You mentioned the 458 makes PDK seem ancient. Why exactely is that? Just the speed of the shifts or the feel of it too?

Thanks Axman and Ludas, the perceived speed at which the 458 shifts at does seem insanely quick. the PDK i noticed does give a bit of a "shove" when you change, the 458's box none of that ... its like perfect, as if you playing an F1 game on your PS3

Really?!
I think the "kick" or "shove" that the car gives while shifting would be a nice thing. I know on my car which when i have the shift setting on the highest setting I kinda like the kick and shove it gives. Makes it seem less "video gameish" I think.

I have not driven a pdk or sequential, but as with anything car related, sudden changes in balance are bad. It may feel nice, but it's not ideal.
