PDK allll the way !! believe me guys the shifting mechanism in the PDK feels like a single gear !! u literally dont feel it's shifts what's so ever. EXCEPT 1st gear when the car jumps from a dig just like a Kangaroo !! :P
Maaaan ! ask me about the wait ! It's porsche kuwait credibility that sux .. other dealers are waaay more better in deliverables than here they suck big time. Bro easiest way is to stay out of the porsche community for a while until u forget and then come back again ;P

this video shows precisely why dual clutch transmissions are faster and better than manuals(if you dont mind them)

Hmmm...
PCA Panorama, DEC 2009, page 20, regarding the 997 PDK Turbo
Q:"Do we understand that the PDK was a second faster on the Nordschleife than the six speed?"
A: (Walter Rohl): "No. It was the same time."

It's such a fantastic transmission that Porsche decided to put it in the GT3...oh wait...they didn't. Well, it's such a great transmission that Porsche put it in the GT3 RS...oh, no...wait...GT2? GT2 RS?

VERY expected result as the tiptronic should do the same...
+ the GT-R had more speed at the line. I hate these videos, when they base alla kinds of comparisons on this, but dont lookaat actual vbox/performance box stats.
The vids are nice to look at, however.

What urgent need is there for actual vbox stats? The GTR is a VERY fast machine, but the 3.8L Turbo PDK is much more so, as evidenced by being walked HARD.
The 997.1 Turbo will get walked rather hard too vs the 997.2. Owners who have had both are vouching for that claim, as are several publications where they are testing them in the same day using the butt-meter.
