@ Richard M. re: Cayman PDK upshift

[edwardo99]

Richard,

A couple of PDK owner quotes who autocross:

"That was my only real complaint about the PDK in the GTS, it wouldn't always hold the gear I wanted and would occasionally upshift when I was feathering the throttle."

and

"I also had, early on with the car, enough instances where the PDK in auto went to 3rd when it wasn't really warranted - so I started focusing on running it in manual..."

I would like to add that Kevin Wenzel got to the point with his old Cayman GTS to use the PDK in Automatic mode. It always seemed to keep the car in the gear that would allow it to use the power best from what I understand. Kevin won the prosolo championship the last year he owned the car and I feel like he always extracted a high level of performance from that car.

My next porsche will be my first, so I reckon I have no clue what is better. I know I like to be in charge of gear changes but I'm also willing to accept that perhaps I screw up occasionally and probably don't have it in the best gear.
