it's a manual car imo

GT3 does the PDK thing well with more BHp and PDK-S

As I posted in the other thread, PDK does NOT = short ratio's they are still long !

So no real performance gain , just nicer in rush hour

Hmmm, wonder whether if this is announced and any owners switch, that will free up slots for more cars to be ordered (in manual)?

No it will be same amount of cars but just Pdk added to the options list!

The PDK has shorter ratios (not short enough) and with the faster shifts you will have a performance gain, if that is your priority. If they give it the PDK-S I will change my order, but not for the regular PDK.

it's a 1/10 th second gain on gear change in 1 direction that's it, shorter manual ratio would gain you over 1/2 second to 60 etc

I cannot give a **** about 1/10th second which then makes the car dull !!

The cars are sold out. I would guess half of them are already delivered. Why would they offer a PDK option to the other half which already bought a manual car?
Porsche is no charity, there will be new allocations if there will be a PDK version.

Not sure what's more dull on a mountain pass, a responsive PDK or a manual with one usable gear (2nd). When I testdrove the GT4 around local mountains I found that 1st is too short to use before corner entry and 2nd too long on corner exit. Very frustrating.

new GT4 and GT3RS allocations are coming at least in LHD, not sure about RHD though.

Seriously doubt that. Why would they incur the development cost to offer a PDK option on a load of cars they have already sold? Makes no sense. If it's true that PDK is coming for the GT4, there will be more cars.

Porsche , at its best.

Was not the G4 developed as Pdk and manual the latter being chosen but the former was too close to the 911 gt3?
So no development costs involved this late in the gt4 production!

A lot of soul searching this weekend for those who have yet to lock in slots.

PDK-Manual- PDK -Manual -PDK

For me it would be manual all the way on this car

Is it true that a GT4 overtook you at Silverstone whilst you were driving your GT3RS?

[Sam All]

Probably the mega downforce on the RS.
