Selling your paddle shift wheel, what's coming to the stable?

GTS with Sport Bucket Seats, Roll Bar, Harness, Aero Kit.

I'll be putting my car back to stock over the next few months. Since the GTS comes with the paddle wheel I sell my steering wheel and probably my Tubi exhaust system too. I also have a set of Michelin PS2's I took off the car they have 75% life left.

Too bad you are so far away. Everything on your car would fit mine.

Ray, the steering wheel goes right in a small little box the size of ...well...a steering wheel. I sold my track wheels locally and the GT3 LCA's are going on the GTS.

If you want the wheel you have 1st dibs....let me know.

Why aren't you using the sport plus setting on the track? You really only need to overide to downshift occasionally during considerable elevation changes.....paddle shifting is too much work! Works great at Mid Ohio, Putnam Park and VIR for me.....

While I do occasionally paddle downshift on the track normally because the PDK does not downshift early enough in some corners, the main advantage of the paddle shift wheel over the standard "buttons is that you won't accidently up-shift by hitting that button with the palm of your hand.

Not sure if you are talking to me or not...actually I always have the car in Sport Plus mode at the track. Sometimes I paddle shift but lately I've been letting the car do the shifting and it get it pretty much right too...kind of hilarious at how good PDK is at this.

The GTS comes with a paddle wheel...I will not need the paddle wheel I bought last your and am putting on the stock push/pull button wheel in a month or so.
