Maybe he does... maybe he knows that a PDK equipped GT4 starts to outperform the 991s, and they don't want that to happen anymore than BMW wants the M2 to outperform the M3/4.*
I am actively shopping both Cayman GTS and M2 for my next fun car... Fun will be the operative word. Based on my personal driving experiences on the track and otherwise I will be selecting a car with PDK or M-DCT.
I am glad so many of you like manual that you keep the market open for them here in the US. When I want to row my own, I take out one of my old vehicles with MT and do it. However, not for a second do I see them as better performing. When this performance split gets big enough, car makers will be forced to make a hard decision of which tranny to build -- I think they should select the higher performer -- like they did on the F10/F12s. For the entry level M-cars and P-cars, that remains to be seen.
*An addendum, the clever and innovative way around this is are the CSL/GTS Monikers... How those play out in performance/transmission/cost Will be interesting to watch the coming months
