Mr D who said there was an issue [
] It was merely an observation and when competing with dealers who can supply finance and comfort zones real or imagined it doesn't make life any easier for private sellers Personally I prefer to meet the actual owner and make my own judgement rather than have a dealer telling me his sales yarns on the previous owner []
I agree with MrD that being quick has a lot to do with reading the road ahead & being in the right gear based on what you see and anticipate. Although, my opinion on PDK was formed on the expectation that I'd most likely end up leaving it in auto, where the system is 'blind' to what is ahead. Driving it in manual removes the blind element from the system as you're choosing gears based on reading the road & so for a work out as described by daro I must admit I can't see how that can be anything other than a GOOD drive. I must force myself to keep it in manual the next time I get a loaner because I also have to admit that I more likely have the tendency let it make me lazy, as MrD mentioned a few pages back. In auto its a bit sluggish to get the system to react by stamping on the gas if you're pootling along in normal mode and need to have a quick aggressive squirt without a pre-meditated transition to sport mode. The lower powered cars suffer more I think. The more powerful 911's suffer less the feeling of being caught in the wrong gear. As others have said though, even if I drive it in auto, I should be prepared to take over when necessary. You've given me food for thought daro on trying 987 PDK again but forcing myself to use it as a manual (not at all thinking of swapping the Spyder to PDK). 991/981 PDK though is a better auto but I should start thinking about that in manual mode too to get even more out of it). My previous thoughts on PDK halfway down this page http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=719756&mpage=43ORIGINAL: daro911Well that is like asking Guards Red or Carrera White
This sums up real world use of PDK nicely. Obviously, if I could drive like mrdemon I would be in the right gear at the right time all the time [
][][]] Yes you feel like you sit on the Corsa rather than in it, and if it had any less power it would have zero bhp, but it was OK to drive on the motorway when you finally got up to speed - just no poke in ANY gear. But now my clutch feels heavy and as I lifted my tired foot (it's been a long weekend) I completely misjudged where the bite point was and short forward without giving it any gas. Then as the car dropped down the small step out of the garage, it felt like it had zero suspension travel. It's a very short drive to his school and as I said, i'm very tired, but i'll have to give it some beans tomorrow and get back into the swing of what this car is about[]. I've had no issues with driving it as a daily driver, so it's really odd that i've come back so unfamiliar it[&:] The Corsa was a nice little car inside and out and gone are the days when little cars are not smooth at motorway speeds like big cars. I couldn't have a second car that didn't have any 'fizz' though. It'd drive me NUTS and i've never drive it!
] people will be doing auto only driving tests again soon, (My gf sister already is) sad skill to loose driving a manual.
Hypothetical question for you[ORIGINAL: MrDemon correct
] Choice of two evils which would you take [] Spyder PDK with Carbon Buckets or Spyder Manual with Heated Chairs [link=http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=987+spyder+seats&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=V0qxIZTIkSriiM&tbnid=6pp8TOBkVqkhGM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.porschearchive.com%2Frender.cfm%3Fsource%3D28000~Boxster_Spyder_RS60_(987)~2008-2009&ei=2TKJUcqxJem90QXE_IDQAQ&bvm=bv.45960087,d.d2k&psig=AFQjCNFLsvoEVQbd0_WdOfRoanVe3NS6lw&ust=1368032328750482]
[ORIGINAL: MrDemon I thought I had broke my Spyder two weeks ago. went to Donny Porsche, VIP treat, got in the car to drive off and had to stop, car juddered and then stopped "o shit" I thought that did not feel good and now no engine noise. then I noticed I had not put the clutch in when I went to stop at the junction.

Sorry Brian, i've never dabbled with photoshop. Is there anyone on here who has photoshop skills? We could add 'Customisation Booth' to the list of activities going on in here[ORIGINAL: kitchens I rather like that photo of the Red car with the black wheels and the Red cheese graters [
]
Pretty shocking by any standards but when driven normally I must confess to not have noticed anything strange about the electricity driven racks [&o] When you hop between your Spyder and Kman are their any obvious differences between the pair in the fashion they perform and handle on the highways or is it fair to say same backside other cheek [
] Either way great pair to own at the same time I am sure [8D]
