In a recent interview, Andreas Preuninger (the man behind the 991 GT3) said the following...
The car will also be less capable in cornering because we cannot combine the electronic e-diff with a manual, because there’s no hydraulic pump in the manual to feed the e-diff. Positive influence of e-diff is significant on turn in, under steer (none at all) and brake stability.

I won't be considering a C7 until the DCT arrives. If I really wanted one now for sure I would get the manual. That is a nice transmission and is ideally suited to the car.

"[The PDK] System is fun, fun, fun AND faster and a lot different to 991; another galaxy to 997 PDK. Parking in tight spots and getting out of garages etc. might be easier with a clutch that can be modulated, that’s true. But parking and getting out of garages is not the main development target on a GT car. When a huge part of our customers still insist on a manual we will not ignore this. But, a manual will be not only slower in acceleration but the car will also be less capable in cornering because we cannot combine the electronic e-diff with a manual, because there’s no hydraulic pump in the manual to feed the e-diff. Positive influence of e-diff is significant on turn in, under steer (none at all) and brake stability.

Unless you're Eddie Murphy or Hugh Grant, there shouldn't be a tranny in the car! Oops wrong thread...
