thats good news

 

wtdoom is legit

 

Honest matey , Im not winding you up . It will be a few years yet though . There are discussions on drivetrain and wether the Front engined Panamera based " new 928 " will be released first , after ( or not at all) .
Even been confirmed that the chassis will have many similarities with the next gen r8's ( as Im sure you know Porsche " won " the job pf developing the sporty chassis of all vw group cars ) . Also there is talk of the 918 being moved up to circa 600 / 650 000 GBPounds (!) making the gap even bigger .

but shhhhhhh , mumms the word eh

normally im called eejit ! Thanks IIVVX .

 

I can't imagine them improving on the PDK... but if he says its possible okie dorie.

If they stop making a manual transmission and go all Ferrari on us i'll be pissed.

 

Doesnt sound like a bad plan.

 

Man, if I had his job, I'd be saying pretty much everything he said.

I like manual transmissions cars, but a high-performance dual-clutch setup should be the default transmission for the future. I love the GT3, but a dual-clutch race-oriented PSM-equipped GT3 would be the perfect car for me, even on an emotional level. I have a manual in my race car, but if I could make it paddle-shift, I would.

Part of the enjoyment of driving is having enough to do to stay busy, but not be overwhelmed. The main objection to automatic transmissions is that all you do is steer/brakes/gas, which isn't involving enough. With a sufficiently elevated performance envelope, I suspect that doing those three things now occupies enough of your attention that you'd be happy to delegate the cog-swapping. I don't hear many F1 drivers wishing to go to a manual transmission due to the sheer lack of challenge of a current dual-clutch F1 car.

 

Well, using a dildo rather than your gentleman's sausage when you cuddle with your wife "keeps you busy but doesn't overwhelm you" . . . doesn't mean it's the best way to go about it, now is it?

(OT: What sort of race car do you have?)

 

Ya but F1 is all about going as fast as possible, while driving a GT3 on the back roads is about having the best most involving experience possible. Not doing it as fast as possible.

 

Apparently PDK S takes it to another level and is a " game changer "

 

They might also introduce the sequential Electro-Mechanic transmission (RSR-style) they have been promising for ages...
That would not be so bad after all...
