Turbocharged engines can be made to synchronize better with conventional automatics and dual clutch transmissions but by many reports Porsche has really improved the 7spd manual. So you might lose a bit of acceleration compared to pdk  but the car is so quick anyway even with the manual that it might not matter in normal non track driving.  Even side by side racing to vmax the  pdk likely be only a couple.of.car.lengths ahead maybe but not a.speck in the distance.

This is why I recommended to test-drive a manual vs. PDK. However, manual is a dead horse, simply because it is also easier to achieve the coming stricter CO2 emissions limitations with PDK. I didn't hear anything (new) positive about the 7 speed in the 991.2, they simply (well, not that simple) adapted it to the higher torque and other "oddities" of the turbo charged engine.
