Quite a few Porsche pilots aren't happy with their decision to install PDK only in the upcoming GT3 even though it's probably faster than the M/T.

I just have a more connected feel with the car working a clutch and would rather put the extra cost of an SM/T into other performance parts.
Porsche needs to cut the crap, the PDK's shift speed vs manual is infinitesimal. It's something like .02 seconds.
