I have a confession to make - 986 vs 987 S

[Porsche Chick]

I also have the 2009 PDK boxster, and if I had to do it all over, I would have held out for an S.

But the PDK does have the SAG system (stomp n go) which I love. Works like this:

Remove foot momentarily from accelerator.

Stomp on accelerator.

Fly off.

No way can a human shift (and I'm not brave enough to downshift from 7th to 3rd, but the car does it) as fast as the PDK, and the 0-60 is great.

What's not to like? Granted, it is smooth, to the point where looking at your speedometer is a surprise (I'm going 85?!).

If you want to feel disconnected, try a Lexus IS. So quick, so agile, so oddly makes you feel sleepy at 90+ mph. Smooth as glass . . . yawn.

Here's a question; when you start it up, does it burst into a roar and rev itself to 1500 rpm? It settles after a few minutes (about 800 rpm), but mine didn't do this at first, now it does it all the time. Supposedly, it's the adaptive PDK, but I'm not so sure.

Very impressive no doubt. Would it be nice if they developed a manual even better than the current 997 ssk that mesh well with the transmission to rival the pdk? Nissan tried on the 370 with much room for improvement. Pdk still would be faster but not more fun.
