PDK I have no idea, I've never driven one. All I know is it's much better then the Tiptronic.

I guess the few times I did manual mode with the tip, I shifted to 2nd quicker and didn't ride out the peak. Hence, I didn't experience much difference in 1st/2nd. Interesting - thanks for the reply.
I can't comment much on the pdk, as I mostly drive in auto (and in 2 years of 981 ownership, am and at 4000 miles) and don't push it as much as the avid enthusiast. When I had the 911s, that car had significantly more power than the 987, so I didn't feel much need to push that one either. Maybe when the kids are older and off doing Jake-like things... I'll consider it with the 981 :ah:
[edit] strike that last comment. When I was Jake's age, I had jobs. My kids will too. And 20s be expensive!
