When did driving a manual car becomes a part of the dick measuring contest. Go get a vintage sports car or lotus with no power steering and vacuum assisted brakes. Hell, go with two wheels if you really want a challenge.
No PDK probably because the performance would fall near the GT3. The Cayman is lighter than a 911 and has better weight distribution. Now with a 3.8, it's got a stronger midrange so it will be a rocket out of the corners. Porsche did well here, but they definitely left some potential on the table. Can't step on the 911's toes..
