If so, how do you compare the PDK transmission in your Porsche with LFA's single-clutch transmission in the most aggressive S7 shift mode?? Both from a visceral feel and performance stand point??

Manual Transmission - the LFA is crazy fast on the shift. In sport mode - it feels super fast.

Thanks. Great to hear you love the tranny.

I believe the transmission speed is controlled by the little dial on the right hand side independently of 'sport mode'???

I am asking since I have seen pictures of the speedo in 'sport mode' with say, 5 of the 7 shift bars lit up??

Yes. Both sport mode and a sep dial you can use to shift faster. I max them both out while driving.

Cool.

I believe a video of your LFA has been lurking on the internet of two young guys with a camera trying to follow your LFA at night time. It was shot in Chicago so it could only be your's. Have you checked that out??

I checked out pictures on your instagram account and they were amazing pictures. Very well shot.
