The pleasure involved in shifting depends on the car , whether driven around town or on a winding back road or at it's limits on the track. I've been heel and toeing for over 30 years . The 996 Turbo is well known to have an overly boosted clutch ( that feels like an econocar ) with a very high take up point - no pleasure there , compared to the nice stiff direct low take -up clutch action on a GT3. The Porsche cable shifter is feeless also- even with the aftermarket shifters that just shorten the throw and or introduce more " stiction " , which is fake " racy " .
OTOH, taking a car like a Miata through the clik-clik gear box is sheer pleasure.

I'll take the DSG verson of the 997 Turbo, thank you, as I suspect the same with it's 6 spd manual.
