Some of the best race car systems use little magnets so they click and clack firmly on both sides of the paddle range.

Yeah I have had some instances where i hadn't completely depressed the paddle and there was no tactile feedback but it still downshifted. They do get better after a lot of use though. I still prefer shifting through the gear lever. But even that is quite stiff compared to other cars. I also much prefer the 458 clickers.

Some of the posts in this forum is just borderline ridiculous. This one, the guy who works for his dad and thinks tires are too expensive, and the one about the unicorn vs gt3 take the cake.

People need to visit this section in particular to see real life examples of "first world problems".

I would worry more about Trump becoming president than the stiff GT3 paddles.

Nobody is asking your opinion in this post so why reply. I am asking a question that may have an answer.

I work for myself and I don't watch TV and worry about TRUMP to be president.

If you like, you can come and drive my scuderia and see how the difference is. maybe then you can be enlightened.

I know the throw of the paddles are slightly shorter on the RS wheel, per EVO. My RS wheel should be in to me in the next few weeks so I'll post a direct before/after impression.

I thought the RS wheel is not a plug and play upgrade? Are you needed to reprogram the wheel in the dealer?

I've one driven one flappy paddle car, my RS.
Thinking of adding the CF extensions and if anything it's too light. Takes no effort at all.
At Sebring or hitting a curb I've gotten an up or down shift by accident.

There have been successful retrofits. A forum member posted a sort of DIY end of last year.

I think that is whats missing. Just not enough positive feedback on the pull.

I also would recommend KMP, but not so sure i would let buff come & drive your scuderia. Especially if he thinks Hillary is the answer!

It's all about tactile feel, regardless of the subject!
