really good review mate, read every word with interest. It sounds like the new 911 is going o be fantastic and I cant wait to see what they do with the next gt3 and RS models, which again are set to use this PDK box. its also interesting that the latest RSR is using a 4.0ltr engine, maybe there is even more room in its arse than we think?

As Patently as rightly said it is very odd they have made the gear-change 'inverted'. I can only assume they have done this because they think the majority of people will find it most instantly comfortable. Well its certainly not for lack of motor-sport experience! The lack of paddles and those silly buttons are however unforgivable in my eyes. Why try to be clever and offer something different from the rest of the market? Paddles work wether static or attached to the wheel. The buttons are next to useless on track nd far less satisfying on the road (old tip). Do you think paddles would have been bettter sidles?
