Price seems reasonable, the car pretty much as a lot of options standard on it as opposed to a 911S...my build did not go over 156K....which I think it's reasonable compared to a comparable 911S build which comes out to 125-130K.

m5_2010 is just really nicem5_2010 is just really nicem5_2010 is just really nicem5_2010 is just really nice
Without a manual gearbox it is not even a consideration for me.... I had PDK and now have manual and like it a lot more.. I guess I am obsolete.

There are pros and cons of both . I happen to like both and have owned both . My curent Turno is a manual and with regard to modifying it a stage 3 clutch in a manual is an easy fit . On the other hand the current 997.2ttt and future 991 Turbo are so good in stock form taht there isa lmost no need to mod it . A modded 997.1tt is faster than a 997.2tt stock but it also costs more .

The main huge positives of a PDK in a Turbo are -
1) The engine can NOT over rev . PDK ignores over rev comands and in terms of engine longevity it is worth choosing taht option alone .
2) PDK maintains boost on upshifts . It's incredible how efficient the PDK shifting is .

I actually think its a bargain compared to a 991S . Usually a Turbo is a huge price jump . 20 grand for a base Turbo price comparison is a bargain . I spced a mosdest Turbo S in the 170's . The car will be a straight loine monster .

Even the Current 997.2tt just pulls from a 991S . Now its truetaht the 991 is very nicely appointed and luxurious. It also handles superb and fir street driving is an ideal car but for those who want to be the fastest ... Turbo !!!!

Everything you say is 100% true & I've owned both also. The manual is just more fun. I guess the only hope now is the new GT2 whenever it arrives.
