Upgrade to GT steering wheel

I wouldn’t DIY it though, just due to the airbag hookup. Maybe not hard, I just prefer to leave that to a pro.

Have you driven the GT wheel? I actually prefered standard. You also have better visibility of the instrument cluster. Throwing it out there just in case.

I also have and like the thinner standard wheel. I test drove cars with both and, although tempted to get the GT wheel since it was such an inexpensive option, really preferred the feel of the standard wheel. I seem to be in the minority however.

Same here. I too was tempted and did a fairly indulgent build, but it wasn’t for me...just too bulky for my hands. IMO, the GT wheel is not so much an upgrade, it’s a personal choice of what feels best to your hand and eye...price isn’t a consideration. Though the aftermarket price would give me pause.

And anyone looking to buy one should really sit down and grab it, I don’t have it on any of the ones I have owned, including two custom builds.

I agree, I got the GT wheel because it felt better in my hands. There is no wrong decision here.

I got the GT wheel for the thumb notches which is something I prefer. The downside was even less visibility of dials. That said, I can see all my dials on my Cayenne but with the exception of oil temp seldom look at anything other than RPM and speed which are in the center.

No, I prefer the standard wheel too. In fact I'd like it thinner and a little larger for more steering feel.

Happy with the sports suspension / SPASM. I know some people find it a bit stiff but I don't. My car for reference is a fairly simple manual 2S build, no RAS / PDCC / Sports Exhaust.
