The ONLY time manual is more fun than dual clutch is when you are going WOT. DCTs kill it in everything else. Spirited driving in a manual is annoying as fk, huge power cuts since your not shifting hard, completely distracts from the overall experience... manual trans cant touch the way DCTs fly through the gears when short shifting.. come out of a corner, about 80% on the throttle, shifting around 5k.. fly through like 3 gears in a couple seconds.. fkn love it.
To each their own, but I think you'd have to be crazy (or just have enough FU money to buy one of these and not care about value) to get this car with PDK. This will be one of THE last 911 with NA, high revving engine, 6MT and non-hybrid. Something like a Miami Blue, 6MT, carbon buckets and carbon ceramics would be a true unicorn.

Besides, with automatic rev matching these days, I really do believe that the gap between PDK and MT is not that massive.
if I had this car, the last thing thats going to affect my resell value is the transmission lol Id drive it till the wheels fall off.
