good job Porsche.
Bitching about a 6MT-only vehicle in today's world of "let the computers do everything for you"?

That being said, that PDK is one helluva tranny

this was my point and not the fact that the 6MT is an outdated piece of junk

Simple and outdated does not equal junk

But I don't want to turn this into another AT vs MT thread. We already have a really good one of those going

OP, I just did an oil and transmission fluid change for a local Z owner that drove a Cayman for a few days before eating the deposit and trading it for a 370Z It wasn't the GT4, of course.

I mean, come ON tho... a 911 starts where the GT-4 ends up (price wise).

But i do have to get my arse in a Cayman, to at least see what all this hubub is about.
