Excellence magazine has an article. I was told by Dealers and PCNA, that the PDK tranny could not handle the HP and torque. Now the new eng is going to have the PDK and suppossedly SUB 3 second 0-60. with Paddle shifting.
The first ones are going to be available as a build order for January, delivery in late Feb or so. My order is in and they expect a Denver delivery in late Feb or early Mar. The dealer also said that only 50% will be built with PDK, so it was important to get one early if you want PDK. As for the PDK's ability to handle the HP, another torque plate was added to the transmission. Does anyone really think Porsche would put out a tranny that would fail? I don't think so.

I read in one of the magazines (can't remember which) that Porsche testers simply gave up trying to blow up the PDK in the Porsche Turbo using launch control after hundreds of attempts--it simply couldn't be done. After the Nissan GT-R launch control debacle, durability of the PDK is definitely going to be front and center in Porsche's mind. I'd say the PDK is likely bullet proof with the stock engine.
That being said, only time will tell if the PDK (to say nothing of the new engine) is capable of withstanding the outrageous mods being done by some of the member of this forum.
