Thank you for the quick reply
How do you compare the DKG vs. PDK?
Do you have the latest updated software on your DKG?
My pleasure!
I was pleasantly surprised with the PDK. From my experience it 's more sound / solid than DKG. (difficult to explain)
My M needs some maintenance soon and will (hopefully) have the latest software installed then...
DKG:
- reacts slower on manual shifts
- reacts slower to throttle input (downshifts)
- has a very nasty habbit of delayed reaction if you brake, take a bend in 2nd gear and then reapply gas
- needs to be adjusted (in 6 steps) to behave more or less according to driver demands whereas Porsche's PDK "knows" what the driver wants...
- sticks to low gears for a frightening long period when the engine is still cold
In summary, PDK is worlds ahead of DKG...
Same applies to steering and suspension setup/precision if compared to the M3. Porsche engineers simply know how to develop cars. Just saw a 599 when driving the Boxster S service car recently. At this moment I just thought how nice the 599 looks and sounds... The next thought was that even a Boxster S is a more refined product in terms of steering, suspension, gear-box than the 599. No kidding.
