Cayman 718 Manual
Discussion
Test drove the Cayman 718 manual today. Been pondering the manual and PDK debate for a while but spec locks down on Thursday so decision time.
Had an accompanied test drive on Saturday in the manual and still undecided so had the car on my own for a couple of hours. Really set my heart on the manual before driving, drove a friends 911 to Spa GP and enjoyed it. However decided to opt for the PDK as found the gearing quite tall in first and second gears and as a result it did not feel that fluid to drive. Felt that the extra gear and ratios on the PDK were more suited to the engine. I also found the clutch very heavy and this was in the base model so would imagine the clutch on the S must be even stronger to accomodate the extra power and torque. Seemed to be much heavier than on the 911 that I drove. maybe I am getting old!
PDK Also does more with the sports chrono.
