The software porsche has that they do in house is far superior than what everyone else is doing and this IMO is a big part of why they are the standard. Plus this technology wouldn't exist as they invented it.

Only thing I personally don't like is the push/pull porsche gives you standard, I like the left and right paddle option much better.

DCT is good, and I love mine. Huge improvement over the atrocious 6mt in my first e92 m3 but it still doesn't hold a candle to PDK and a couple of the other top tier dual clutches (458/gtr are great as well).

My goodness man I'm suprised you haven't taken delivery of a 991/Boxter/Cayman/Panamera/Cayenne/Macan/918 or some other soon to be released Porsche variant.

It's almost like Zuffenhausen casts the Porsche Crest via spotlight over Stuttgart to alert you to any posts/comments on Bimmerpost that contains any reference to Porsche - whether good, bad or indifferent. it's kiind of funny actually. I'm sure your subscription to Cristophorus is up to date

All Good Man - I'm just busting your chops
