With the possibility of a local race track coming back into my life in 2019 .., see: https://badlandsmotorsportsresort.com/motorsports/
I am toying with the idea of selling my 1997 Porsche 993 C2 and replacing it with something like a 996 Turbo. I could start a whole new thread about my question. But I will ask it here instead. I won't need to worry about this if I can find a good used manual transmission 996 Turbo, but if a good Tiptronic was to surface has anyone ever tried converting the Tiptronic thumb shifters into paddle shifters? Can it be done?
