Yeah, that's kinda my point...

These cars keep getting more complicated and heavier, plus the PDK trans & associated hardware add another 90lb.s weight to your S over a 6-speed 997.2S (according to the official specs on the Porsche website). But you've proven that it compensates for those extra pounds quite well - on a 1/4 mile strip at least...

For the same configuration PDK adds 66lb over a 6-speed manual.
