Damn! Want... Let's see, if I sell the Cayman, AND the house...
But you left out the key info - STARTS at $150k. The options don't come cheap.
When I browse the Porsche forums, I'm always amazed at how many owners are opting for the PDK over a manual. I don't care if it's faster, it removes you from a key portion of the driving experience.

"Paddle-neutral: the de-clutching function of the 911 GT3 PDK
The dynamics of a sports car driven to optimum lap times are also determined by the clutch. That's why the PDK comes with a “paddle-neutral" feature. If the driver pulls both shift paddles simultaneously, the clutches of the PDK are opened, and the flow of power between the engine and drive is cut off. Once both shift paddles are released, the clutch engages at lightning speed if the PSM is switched off. With PSM switched on, the clutch is closed quickly, but in a less abrupt manner. The driver can use the paddle-neutral feature for acce- lerating from a standstill. As is the case with manual transmission vehicles, the driver alone decides on how to accelerate using clutch and accelerator, without any assistance from drive and dynamic handling control systems if the driver selects them off."

Also, those wheels are BEAUTIFUL.
