I have the Spyder, so I would say the spyder shifter is silky smooth. I found the R to be a little heavier, but very direct and satisfying. If I had to choose, the more heavy R gearbox would be a preference, makes you feel more "mannish"... #madeupword

Surprisingly though, the clutch on the R was laughably light, the spyder clutch is much heavier.. maybe has to do with the LWFW?

Muddy Waters coined it in 1968 ... good ole song covered by Jimi Hendrix, and Buddy Guy, too. You are using it properly.

I just figured that out this week. Will save hundreds on the .2 GT3 key!

the only problem with the china key trim is that they don't have every single color. If you have a black, red, silver or white car, then sure, it's not a problem finding them for $20 on eBay.

if you have UV, lava, miami, etc, then you're not going to find that option for cheap from china on eBay.

there are also CF trim pieces for about $50 on eBay, but the CF trim they use doesn't seem to match the CF pattern that porsche uses on their trim....if you care about the patterns matching
