I only have four hundred miles on the car, all I can say is wow, the forward thrust is well you have to pay attention, allot quicker than the 2008 I test drove, did not buy! The PDK I am still getting used to , manual mode, auto mode, sport , sport plus, have not launched it, but love sport plus in manual mode, in auto love sport on the paddels. Car is softer than a GT3 in handeling, but in sport or sport plus you feel the bumps just the same. I would like some more exhaust noise, future mod, but I have to say an amazing car the PDK is. More to come as more miles on the clock!

Congrats!

I'm in similar club, at 1800 miles now, haven't done launch control yet but did a few 55 to 120mph WOT sprints including one straight up a 15-20 degree hill highway - even with stock exhaust it sounds like a huge screaming banshee with full boost....reaction of my girlfriend in passenger seat ... Priceless

Still haven't done overboost - trying to figure out how fast I need to jam on the pedal for that

Glad you are enjoying the incredible experience of the PDK. It will keep getting better and better. My 2010 turbo is now 2 years old and is absolutely perfection. When you eventually launch it, you will be shocked at how violent it is and so thrilling. I had a passenger who thought he was going to be sick. Rumour has it that it induces mild vertigo. I actually love the sound of the turbos as it sounds like a jet. The whoosh is fantastic. If I want loud exhaust noise, I jump in my G3RS and then a whole different experience begins. Only Porsche could produce these types of different super cars.
