These two are my favorite parts of the DCT. I just want the car to do exactly what I tell it to... Nothing worse than hitting an APEX in slightly too tall of a gear and flooring it just to have the "automagic" transmission downshift on you unsettling the entire car and putting you ass first into the ourside barrier. Same goes for the auto upshifting, I would rather hit the limiter and modulate the throttle just off of it coming into a hard braking zone then having to deal with an additional downshift. PDK absolutely got it wrong by taking control out of the hands of lazy drivers. |

I didn't know that fact about PDK. I love how the DCT will hold a gear, period. Having a car shift for you like that is lame, especially at the track.

As for the OP's notion of no one being able to tell the difference between a 335 and an M3 I beg to differ. I don't go a day without some one commenting about my car and Porsche's are a dime a dozen around here.

His review was thoughtful and insightful. Unlike the bullsit we've seen in other reviews like "uhhh, needs more torque". we need to encourage more posts like this. |

OP, have you considered trying the 1M? Sounds like it may give you what you desire...luggage space, room for 4 people, great torque, M3 Suspension and uniqueness. Also, the tunes are already pushing the 1M up by 100 HP.
On the downside, based upon your review, it's a 6MT.

What? Anyway, the DCT is an amazing transmission - from the OP's review I wonder if he fully understood how to set it up and play with it in manual mode. Great review, always enjoy reading people's experiences... |

Lazy torque, suspension and uniqueness with M3 utility = 1M.

I DD'ed my GT2 for 6 months when my son was first born and we were still looking for a family car while my son was being shuttled in the E30. Other than the fact that I couldn't put raw meat, egg, and seafood in the trunk (non insulated for weight saving), I could fit three grocery bags in the trunk, and my work bag in the empty backseat area (no backseat from the factory). |

For novice p-car guys like me, can you tell us what "this" is? I'm guessing 2007 GT3-RS?
