I'll be taking Mexico out to the first track event in June and will report on how the sequential performs on the track.

drove a sequential once, obv was an adapted 6speed vehicle where you had to use clutch still.. just seemed wrong to me.. besides mis shifts and a little time savings, what are the upsides?

Thanks all! The sequential has lots of benefits not to mention huge fun factor. No $ shifts. Much faster shifting and I think with the 3.8 rs and shorter gear ratios it will get lots of use. It's certainly one of the many mods we all make that's not a have to have, but I'll put money down (guess I already did) that after one track session with it you'd never go back. After driving with it for just a few weeks it feels like what should be in the car (and almost was) from the factory.

Not many realize that Porsche developed this in conjunction with Cartronic of Germany originally intended to be an option on our GT cars!

I won't be at the Sebring event. I'm in Colorado. Will be at the next PCA DE event in June. As soon as I get the trailer I'll make a journey down to Sebring for sure though. Have to drive that!

i guess makes some sense, when i drove the sequential i was lost for 5 mins and even after getting the hang of it the shifts just felt odd still. did the install with the owner of the car... that was NOT fun at all. worked perfectly, just seemed like a shifter was easier

i used to be a stick shift guy. but now i wnat sequential, preferable no clutch. and what i really want is a very fast automatic. i just want to turn the str wheel, and throttle. preferably auto braking as well. rowing the stick now feels boring. i just want to go fast ;-)

btw, that's one sick car! CONGRATS.

Have you seen the green 997 that Speed Merchants race? It's a PDK car! It looks like a Cup car with the mods though. At the 48hrs Sebring race I spoke with them...car has 10k DE and race miles on it. They dropped the PDK out of it to replace the clutch packs....took a look and everything looked new so they just changed the fluid. PDK shifts so perfectly that there is not much if any wear to the clutch discs. Interesting huh?

Pray tell, details on this sequential kit??

Lovely color. The blue and black works so much better than the superman outfit in the other thread. Congrats!
