I drove a Cayman S with PDK not sure if it had LSD or not.

Nice car. I really enjoyed the handling and running it in Sport and Sport plus.

Easier to drive fast than a 911 but lacks the grunt of my modified 06 997S.

Walked away saying the car would be perfect with the 3.8 motor.

All that being said I would want to drive the a pdk 911 and cayman back to back before I made a decision.

I have driving an 09 C2S PDK and the Cayman S PDK and both are great in their own way. Honestly, the smoothness of the shifts on the manual transmission is quite nice as well, but that PDK is just superb. Sport and Sport Plus are a GREAT feature!

Have had a CS PDK for about a month now. No PASM or LSD. Has SC+. Haven't tried launch control yet; no real need to. It's beautiful on the track, but a lot to learn to tame yet. I think manual inputs will be its highpoint, but it's going to take quite a bit more seat-time for me to get it consistently right. When I do hit it right, it's quite impressive. When in Sport Plus auto, I can get some powerful shifts mid-turn that can unsettle the car. That's why I'm thinking the creme de la creme will be when I've figured out the right feel for the manual shift points. In normal or Sport auto on the street, it's a real pleasure. Sport Plus on the track is a kick! Just not always when I want it.
