The new PDK is a faster shifter than most all humans. It is also reported to be abrupt even in full auto mode. It will be great for the track I think. I'll certainly consider it if I get a new Boxster.

I've always thought there was no shame in an auto shifter. Even the original Sportomatic, which was more of an auto-clutch.

Especially for slow traffic commutes. Which is why my RX-7 in Tokyo was an auto.

For me, the shifting and clutching are a pleasure - especially when done well. So even if I got a new 987, it would be 6 speed. Even if I get whupped by a PDK at the stop light gran prix.
