Is it that much different than the stick? I'm leaning toward the dual clutch jobbies being a huge advantage (GT-R, Evo X MR, etc.)... but I think it will take a couple years of them cleaning up before it becomes apparent.
I drove the 911 PDK at the launch they had at MSR and it was sweet. It even has launch control that works.
Another plus is that the new PDK Boxster/Cayman are finally available with a real limited slip, something that has been missing on these cars since their introduction.
I'm kinda surpised that they allowed the FD RX-7 in. Wasn't that the car to have in SS before the advent of the Z06? Seems to me that this would have been another C5 Corvette class except for the RX-7, which might make the "car to have" a temperamental, 15 year old, hard to find, maintenance intensive rotary.
