Talking manual cars.

I see a few GT3 owners comment on gt4 gearing and also a lot of people comment and argue with me when I bring it up on a 996 or 997 GT3 , but now state it is too long on the GT4 !

At least I am consistent
and as Harris says the large torque does not make it an issue the only issue seems you don't change gear as much.

Yes I think they are all daft doing 80mph plus in 2nd gear but at least I have always said that.

I think some GT3 owners agree with you regarding the ratios but its your posting style that grates with them, also when you talk about certain roads being '80mph' roads and 'nothing much happens below 6k' with a Mezger engine that they tend to start ignoring you.

Lets get the facts right chaps......

Pushing a button to change gear largely went out with the ark tiptronics....unless perhaps you are a m/f steering wheel geek.

With PDK one changes gear using a flappy paddle.

PDK S is totally different to PDK.

All this misunderstanding and confusion is even further proof that the bearded PDK haters have probably never even driven one and have certainly never experienced the benefits of one on a day to day basis. In contrast, those having owned both PDK and 'manuel' can feel justifiably experienced and qualified to comment.......

Unless you can heel and toe i.e. use a manual gearbox properly, you are NOT qualified to say you can use a manual gearbox properly.

I drove an R-tronic V8 R8 though Wales a couple of years back. Would have much preferred a manual but I was surprised how much I enjoyed driving it.

It required a little lift off the throttle then flicking the paddle to select the next gear then back on the throttle again. It was quite fun and the down changes were very smooth but it was all a bit too easy after a while.

You end up being 'along for the ride' as opposed to 'driving' the car.

PDK is a great gearbox
PDK S is am amazing gearbox
A manual will always be a manual

All 3 are great, horses for courses!
