Thanks for the write up! I have not driven one, but I have heard one, and that was enough for me If I were to get a newer vintage it would have to be a 981, the last of the flat sixes and it would have to be manual.

I test drove a 718S PDK almost a year ago a feel about it pretty much the same. The acceleration of the S is impressive but it too at times had transmission lag. The sport exhaust this car had didn't help with the sound. Great car seriously let down by the engine. I'd only consider a manual 981
