Speaking of shifting vs PDK'ing, I will be interested (once the R is in owners hands) to hear reviews of two possibly significant new pieces on the R that could find their way to future 911s; 

1. the action of the 6-speed box, which I recall hearing Andreas P. claim was a new design.  (I was never a real fan of the 997 GT3 box; to me its severe notchiness, along with the 1000kg clutch force, hindered fast driving rather than helped)

2. the claimed new calibration for the steering rack... again if this is just software it could easily move into other models if  it proved to be widely applauded.
