I drove a PDK Cayman GTS (previous model) on a track, and one of the things that the instructors made us try was just that...shifting in a hard turn. The rev-matching and smoothness of the shifts never upset the balance of the car. But I agree...it felt odd when you downshift in a turn and have the tach suddenly hit 5K.

I still prefer a standard third pedal and shifter, but the PDK is really good. I'd consider it in a 911 if it was going to be a DD or get a lot of use. But for a roadster, it's gotta be old school.
