You never hear anyone saying "God, the manual in my GT3 is just so boring and slow, wish it had PDK!"
can you even drive a MT properly already?
I mean hoel n toe and stuff as well

I have driven the Italia 458 and have owned a PDK 4S for over 3 1/2 years and I didn't notice this delay. The single clutch unit in Maserati doesn't even compare...

I know I'm young, and I'm not exactly Walter Röhrl either.

I think that I'm good enough to know and appreciate how a well-sorted manual car feels to drive. If that answers your question.

Manuals are shipping now so you should be able to drive one soon. Hopefully you will like it more. I have't even gotten to drive one yet.

Sorry about your salesjerkoff. I have to say with a lot of time under my belt with four manufacters the Porsche guys are usually the best and most professional with a few dealers being an exception.

Ive never been a fan of German PDK/SMG type transmissions. Lag and slop abound. Though I was very pleased with the CLK Black series trans. Then again Im also a three pedal purist whenever optionally possible...
