DSG Transmission

I hear that this transmission or a variant may be an option on the 997.....if so kudos to Porsche for waiting on such great technology before implementing....drove it yesterday and I think its far better than the Ferrari F1 and BMW SMGII gearboxes...if you have a chance go and drive the new Audi TT....I read that 2 gear downshifts were slow but I had no problems, the auto mode was smoother than any auto I've ever driven and the manual shifts faster than the BMW SMG in the M3.

Evan,

The True DSG is used in the Bugatti Veyron. It is the only transmission that can handle that car.
