[QUOTE="Franz, post: 12393885, member: 138606"] I've driven the PDK box. The biggest advantage it has is getting the car out of the hole quickly with launch control and the 1-2 shift. Shifts on the fly are obviously faster than a manual too, but the PDK car from a 60+ roll-on is not significantly faster than a manual equipped car and has only a two mph faster top speed than the manual does. (Which is why when you watch the vids of Snorman's 2013 GT500 vs his 2013 GT-R, the dual clutch AWD Nissan wins out of the hole and the Shelby pulls the GT-R every time from a roll-on). As far as the Z06, I agree with you. It DOES have exceptional performance, and has been one of the best bangs for the buck in the car industry for years. But, it does so in a purpose-built, 2-seat, 3,100 lb track car that now costs $85K. Hardly falls in the same category as a 4-seat GT500 weighing 700 lbs more and driving in complete comfort. And that's the amazing part about the Shelby being able to match the Z06's straight-line performance for $25K less. But, I digress........Sorry OP for jacking the thread. [/QUOTE]
