I just wanted to post my enthusiasm about the short shifter being installed in my three week old (today) P-car! Too bad the nav unit hasn't arrived yet to get them both installed at the same time. (I still need to post pictures of the new car)
Is the short shifter the same as the sport shifter? Is this an aftermarket product or the Porsche part. And what is the cost to have it installed (I am assuming it wll be installed by your dealer)?
Is the nav unit you are having installed the P unit or aftermarket? I was quoted $4000 to install a nav unit on an instock car that didn't have nav. Did your dealer make you a deal?
I believe the "short shifter" and "sport shifter" are the same things. The car configurator displays it as sport shifter, the Tequipment catalog/web page displays it as short shifter. I don't know what the cost is to have it added after your purchase as I negotiated it with the purchase of my C2. The same holds true for the navigation unit. It is the Porsche nav, and again I negotiated it with the purchase of my vehicle from the dealer. I don't know what the cost would be to purchase/install it afterwards. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Congrats on your new P-car. I have only had mine for a couple of weeks and I am extremely in awe over the vehicle. I may consider the short shifter down the road. I did end up with a car that had nav and I love it. Enjoy and thanks for the info!
Thanks and congratulations to you as well. The sport shifter is a nice addition to an already fun car. It really is a dream. I drove it today, for the second time now, to my office. People are attracted to it.
