Plus, I am surprised you found 8 speed PDK in 992s better than the 7-speed PDK. The 7-speed PDK used in 718GTS&GT4/992 GT3s is known to be faster than the 8-speed PDK they use in regular 992s. Can you elaborate on how the 8-speed PDK was better for you?

I’ve now driven the pdk in the 718 three times - S, GTS, GTS4.0.
I don’t know about the reports you’re quoting but i found the pdk in the 992 to be undoubtedly better. It was faster for sure, smoother when driving mildy, and equally as- if not more dramatic in sport. I’ve not driven the GT3 so I can’t comment on that.
