Re: EVO video 997.2
thanks kreso !!! 
nice video, with good engine sound, and that's without PSE
But I suspect the carrera S 385bhp sounds much much better, I want to see a video of the carrrera S or a soundfile......according to the official videos, the carrera S sounds much better and may be a little bit different vs the previous S version...
I think PDK is a must!!!!

I thought he said for outright driver involvement, the manual is best?
ya manual is un paralelled. We gotta find out how the paddle shifter is in real life... seems a bit odd pressing bottons to shift... i'd stay with the stick thanks

Perhaps my loudspeaker is crap, but right after the start of the engine I hear some strange sound reminding me of a Diesel
lol, I have to say it sounded great at high revvs !!!
, BUT a carrera S MUST sound much much better !!!..Grant, that's just my opinion...just having a quick look to what PDK does, I think is the best way to go for....

Re: EVO video 997.2
first time I've seen a good clip of a downshift. I don't like it.
Not just because it may be "counter intuitive" - I can get used to the push-pull bassackwardness - its the fact that the downshift requires altering the location of your hand!
Although its not as bad as removing a hand from the wheel and reaching down to the gear lever - it's still a disruption of the grip of the wheel - which takes away from the whole premise of double clutch and paddle interface - which is: shift as often as you like to maximize performance because there is basically no loss of control or interruption of power.
I know it may sound knit-picky, but I am disapointed that it required moving a hand at all.

Re: EVO video 997.2
I was wrong!!
Autocar video shows that - if your fingers are long enough, you can wrap around the wheel and push backwards from the rear of the paddle.
I hope that works out.
