Yeah PDK sucks! The way it puts power down smoothly and you never ever have a shaky shift, provides a range of choices for driving fun with sport plus, terrible product! The limited slip was a bad addition too, thing rockets off the line or out of corners. Ease of parking in small spots without using a grabby clutch, gosh I miss the bucking and re clutching each ten feet in traffic jams, trying to roll smooth for an unknown length of miles, good times. I will agree the 986 feels nimble but the 987 platform feels like it was chiseled from one solid block. I won't bother contrasting the acceleration differences, I never had to worry about blasting way into triple digits accidentally in ANY 986. IMO if any tranny is a "no sale" its the tiptronic, I loved my 986 and I loved shifting too but the car I ended up with is in every way more car than my 986.
