If You Want To Go Fast On Track, Get The PDK
The argument between a paddle-shifted gearbox and a traditional stick-and-clutch assembly is a tired one. Let's bypass the discussion regarding shift times; it's been beaten to death. Let's also sidestep the popular counterargument, the one touching on feel and involvement, as it doesn't acknowledge the full gamut of benefits offered by a …

It has always seemed odd that a car with the finesse, power, and surefootedness of the Cayman GT4 could have one glaring issue holding it back. The highly refined Cayman GT4's gearing was unanimously critiqued by all who'd tried it. This normally-aspirated screamer should stay squarely in the meat of the rev range when it's not grazing its …

Never short on enthusiasm, Doug DeMuro dives in headfirst with a list of salivating stats on Porsche's fastest force-fed track toy, as well as a bold byline: "This thing is faster and more powerful than the road version of a Le Mans race car from twenty years ago!" https://youtu.be/C3N61UZ6Z84 That divisive wing, the fender louvers, and even …

We saw this car at Luftgekühlt 5 earlier this year, and the car certainly gathered a crowd. The car, at that time and as I recall it, had an odometer reading …
