I have to agree with @tygaboy Chris re the PDK, DSG, Dual clutch transmissions in the newer cars. I have the DSG in my S3 and that thing shifts better then you could ever hope for. Always in the right gear for the situation. My brother's 997.2 C4S coupe had the PDK and that car was a blast to drive too.
I think 300 HP with a dual clutch transmission in a 914 would be a bitchin ride. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It’s pretty loud, there are are quite a lot of distinct and different sounds that come from it |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It’s pretty loud, there are are quite a lot of distinct and different sounds that come from it But isn't there something romantic about rowing the gears in a lightweight little car? I thought that's what part of the point was. Power is what it is but keeping manual control is not only nostalgic, it's history. No matter whether it's an anemic 1.7 or Andyrew's turbo sounding like a room full of asthmatic adults with Covid, wheezing and farting back and forth, manually shifting is at the very soul of these cars.
