Without lap times it's a pretty useless review. Then comparing PDK to a 6 speed auto is really unfair. Would have liked to seen the C7 with a MT.

What the price difference, because I am thinking the same. Track a lot and want the Z07 package without the ccb. I can take a performance hit if steel rotors are 1/2 the price.
