I agree that they feel detached (slightly) I think it's because your left foot doesnt have any involvement, and that feels unbalanced somehow. I think if it was my car only (joint car with the Mrs) I'd have a manual, but I love the simplicity (in driving terms) of the PDK, town driving and the odd blast on a B road is great with a PDK, guess I'm lazy in driving terms.
If I was rich enough and a 991 GT3 was in the offering, I would want it with a manual gearbox, no questions asked, because that car is about driver involvement, amazed Porsche don't offer a manual box.....GT4 is where I would go if I had the money!
How did you get through the cars in 3 months?
