Noted Randy, but now you have to update it with the GTR report.
We have just got a 997 with the new PDK gearbox and I think it is a stunning bit of kit. I've driven cars with DSG (BMW's, but never a VW) and Cambiocorsa gearboxes in the past, and was never really impressed with them. OK for the track, but not for everyday use. Porsche has got it right and with a six-speed sport gearbox, a 7th gear overdrive, it is both faster and more economical than the manual.
Even the much-maligned paddles very quickly begin to make sense, maybe Walter Rohrl (he is supposed to have specced them and they are initially counter-intuitive) does know more than some of the journos, and kick-down is both instantaneous and graduated.
Added to this it is almost intuitive in anticipating your needs and it will be a retrograde step going back to the ZF automatic in the Aeromax when it comes - yesterdays technology.
