Re: 991 spyshots thread (continued) (for UNRELEASED models only)
I think you are missing the point that it is like buying a motorcycle... but still wanting the pedals
Do you want the 911 without electrical steering too? No adaptive dampers? No stability management? No torque vectoring? No active roll bars? No water cooled engine?
i'll give you a very concrete reason why some of us "dinosaurs" prefer manual transmissions compared to PDK.
In the States, we have few opportunities to drive at the very limits of the car's performance envelop, and if we drive daily, most of us spend the time in traffic. Any car is capable of handling traffic with relative comfort and little perceptible difference. The higher the levels of automation, the less perceptible levels of differences are observable between a Porsche 991 or any other car. A manual helps to bring the "Porscheness" back into the equation.
