Porsche 911 Manual vs PDK | The Good and The Bad
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- The Porsche 911 is one of the few sports cars that’s still offered with a manual transmission. The dilemma is that, Porsche also offers the 911 with a fantastic PDK. So which one should you choose?
In this video I have two 992 generation Porsche 911 Carrera S. One is equipped with a 7 speed manual transmission and the other with a 8 speed PDK. Of course the constant between these two cars is the fantastic 3 liter twin turbo engine that produces 443 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque and that they are both coupe cars.
Now, having to pick between the manual vs the PDK is an unbelievably hard choice, as both are wonderful to use and work well with the Carrera S powertrain. But, what are the differences between the two transmission. What's good about each. How do each excel or need improvement in different driving situations. And, which one I would pick? I cover all that in this video.

Which would you pick, manual or pdk?
PDK, im a newbie.
@Reotha amazing transmission
The manual. Any day or night❤❤
👌
The manual👍👍❤️❤️
Mostly to do with the fact I'm an old fart, but I will ALWAYS go with the manual. I will never need the extra 1-1/2 seconds vs the driving experience that comes with a stick shift...
Great comparison
👌
Today’s manuals are so assisted you’re not really shifting . Auto blip rev matching, if you really want to shift you need a 997 or earlier
Manual, men only know why !!!👍👍👍
VW Fox, Saturn SL2, Dodge Neon, Geo Tracker, Jeep Wrangler, Lancer EVO IX, WRX, Toyota Tacoma, WRX STI, C7 Z51, 987.1 S, 718. All manuals. Long live the Manual!
Which one do you like best?
Excellent comparison between the PDK and Manual!! Save the manuals!!👍
👍
If you want speed go PDK, want control and fun, manual. Hopefully some day we can have both where we have 3 pedals and a stick but there’s a switch to allow automatic to take over. That would be great innovation.
I have my slot for a Carrera S. I am going for the manual as I want to experience the fun of my first car.
The PDK is an automatic manual. With rev matching and auto blipping you’re not really shifting anyway. The 911 is basically a track car. You want to really shift buy a 993 911
I ordered my 992 Carrera T with a manual.
(So glad I live in Texas seeing all that mess over there.)
Look at the border
My last two 911s were manuals. Ready to relax a bit. Going with pdk this time. Both are wonderful.
Which trim are you going with?
@@DriveSteady im getting a 991.2 T. Ive had them all. Just sold my 992 gts. 992 is not my favorite. Too much touch screen stuff. The T is just a good simple sports car
@Gungaganoonga that's awesome. The T is the only one I haven't driven yet
1988 CRX dx
1991 CRX si
1993 Civic hatchback vx
2000 Civic si
2022 Corolla Hatchback XSE
2022 Cayman GTS
All manual baby!
Sweet list
If you’re fortunate to have a 911 as a second car, then it’s the manual, if it’s a daily then pdk, but the full auto with only the flap paddles and the ‘shaver shift’ is a no for me 🙂
Manual ain't so bad for daily 😀
New to the channel. Sorry if this has been asked and answered before but is this guy a brother of the guy with the LNC Collision UA-cam channel?
No
Nice you’re doing launch control on 911s not broken in.
PDK are for people chasing tenths on seconds on track , people with knee problems, manual all the way
😄
seeing a brand new 911 driving by groups of homeless tents on the road of downtown is definitely an experience
Unfortunately it's the reality of the situation
That’s how it looks when I pull my Porsche out the garage in Oakland 😮
Less police enforcement! 😜
Yeah I can't figure out why porshe put a dealership in downtown LA. Really odd. And besides the terrible scenery, just awful roads to test drive on.
Are there no speed limits in residential areas in LA ?
You want engagement my friend? Disconnect traction control and use brakes and wheels of 15 years ago. Everything else is blah blah blah… yeah I got my 992 with PDK. Ultimate weapon in twisty roads and circuit where this car belongs. For straight roads in USA, yeah, probably manual is more fun
See you guys don’t even know the PDK is automatic manual transmission.
Manual for a 911 always!
🏎🏎🏎
3.3 or 4 seconds honestly who cares about that slight difference? IMO both is fast enough
Drove nothing but manual Porsches for years and thought I would never own a PDK. Recently bought a 2018 C2S and I have to say I love the PDK. It's really the best of both worlds in a daily driver. Going to get a coffee and just want to relax let the transmission do the work, want to play race car, put it in manual and have fun! In addition the 991 cars let you use the paddles or the gear selector to shift, for me with years driving the manual using the shift knob feels right at home.
In the GT3 the PDK is the only option. The one weakness of the gt3 is low torque. So if you’re in the wrong gear you’re toast. I’ve had three GT3s and the first 2 were manuals. You had to be perfect every time. Wrong gear or missed shift you lose 3-5 car lengths on the track. The PDK simply solves that whole weak point. Just like a modern race car with sequential tranny. Why buy a track car then pay more for the SLOWER car?? That’s just silly. If you want more involvement buy a 993 and shift to your hearts content. At the back of the pack.

THE BAD = OVERPRICED
