Agreed that this makes no sense. Especially with this crowd. They will have to offer the manual. I may risk fire being shot at me, but the new PDK does make sense for the track - I will still prefer a manual just because it is more fun. I am into fun and don't care as much about lap times. If I cared about lap times, I would order a 991 GT3 RS with PDK without a second thought. I like HDTV and don't see going back to analog any time soon. Better is better - let's face it, but fun is also fun and that is in a different category. Two different points of view.

PDK only would be ridiculous considering that they took the time and effort to develop a 7-speed manual. That being said, it would seem that a 7speed manual may make it busier for the driver when your on the track....

There's still hope for us.
What really, really pisses me off about this whole discussion is that us purists do not mind having the PDK option. This isn't about PDK vs manual, this is about CHOICE. Offer a PDK! Great! Awesome! If you like PDK, buy it. However, to marginalize us purists to such an extent that you take away the option for a traditional manual altogether, that is almost spitting in our face. At least give us the bloody option. We don't care that the PDK is faster, that it's the newest tech, we want our 3rd pedal and gear levers.
