lionheart:
Thank you for enlightening me Fritz ,but i do understand there are complexities in fitting the pdk into the gt3. I believe me i think the engineers at porsche can overcome all these issues , after all companies that are far less profitable such as Ferrari and Lamborghini offer both transmisions . So in summary Porsche should stop waisting so much time on cayanne diesels developments and cars like the panamera and put most of their energy in the 911 and make it the best that they can,.In my opinion the next generation of cars from both Europe and Japan are very close to porsche performance with far less cost. One last thing i say this as a lover of Porsche because i have owned 3 new Porsches myself .
To a certain degree I can understand where you are coming from. Porsche is the (only) sportscar manufacturer who does not yet offer an automated gear system in its GT (supersport) models. The reason being that they never invested resources in developing an automated clutch system like Ferrari's F1 (just to name an example). I agree that this could be criticized (whatever reasons apart form financial considerations Porsche might have had for doing so).
However, regarding PDK and the GT3/GT2: The next generation of the car will most likely feature PDK. This car will be on sale in about 3 years time (my guess). Ferrari will sell their F450 (including a double-clutch system, as rumours indicate) in about 1 years time. Therefore, Porsche will be about 2 years behind Ferrari regarding this technology. Again, this can be criticized. However, the upside is that Porsche's system will (most likely) be very refined when they sell it in the GT3/GT2 as they will have lots of experience given the use of PDK in the standard 997/Boxster/Cayman models. Also, the manual shift in the GT3/GT2 is probably the best available on the market and provides lots of fun. Maybe the last opportunity to experience this kind of fun before the PDK age starts for the GT models as well
