I am a sucker for the mexico blue.... timeless. love it. only gripe... would have gone w/black rear cage. but we're talking total subjectivity on the cage... but one would hard-pressed to not like/love that blue... and the spec/build out is right on the money.

Crex, you can find details about the sequential at http://www.sequentialshifters.com/ Check out the history tab and you'll see: "The shifter was originally developed by Cartronic Motorsport in Germany for Porsche to offer as an option in Turbo and GT models. Although Porsche AG funded the development of the Sequential Shifter unit they ultimately chose, for marketing reasons and the upcoming PDK transmission, not to make the Sequential Shifter available as a factory option."
It's honestly almost exactly as you'd expect. You pull back to go up a gear and push forward to go down a gear. You have the option on going down gears to push the clutch in once and just pushing aluminum lever forward 2x or you can clutch in twice as well. It's so quick and easy that you'll be able to focus more on everything else at the track. To me this setup is perfect because I still like to feel engaged with the car and don't want a PDK even if it might be faster. I love that you still have to heel and toe with this setup. Remember that this is a sequential shifter, not a sequential transmission.
Here's the other nice thing. It's completely bolt on and can be reversed at any time. I wouldn't attempt to put it in myself, but I hear for those very mechanically inclined it's doable.

I should consider going naked next DE it will definitely be lighter 
Man what fun it is to break in this RS. I can tell already it will be a bit faster than the 07. Counting the days till the next track event.
