To RC's point, PDCC does make the 991 feel quite a bit more "pointy" and direct. Perhaps a bit artificial for some drivers. Just a shame that you must spend $3k+ on this option to get that feel. C4 GTS Cab w/ PDCC is basically GT3 priced.
PDCC is amazing and I'd be surprised if someone can really feel it work in the current generation and software status.
The prices are ridiculous indeed. PDCC and AWS should be standard on the new 991.2 but we all knew that this isn't going to happen. I also don't understand why Porsche is asking extra money for PDK, it should be the other way around. I bet 90% of the customers, if not more, order PDK, so what the heck?
My 991 C4 GTS Cab is 163k EUR. For the same money, you could get a well optioned GT3. Does it sound right? No.
I get it, Porsche wants to be the most profitable car maker but at some point, it is getting ridiculous.
Target for 2020 is, base 911 to hit 200k Euro (starting price) for a cleaner enviroment, that way not many people will be able to obtain one that easily
Here's an exmaple of why P is about to dig its own grave....slowly
In latest AutoZeitung test, BMW X5 M vs Porsche Cayenne TT S
Power: 575hp / 570hp
Acceleration:
0-100: 4,0 / 3,8
0-160: 9,1 / 8,9
0-200: 14,4 / 14,2
Braking:
100-0 (cold): 33,9m / 33,5m
100-0 (warm): 32,7m / 33,0m

I have a feeling if the TTS had lost in this test, they (testers) wouldn't be allowed to test another P car in the near future
