I know the answer may be somewhere in the renntem archives but I can't find it so can anyone tell me if the short-shifter option is worth it?

I have a 997 C4S X-51 but did not get the short shifter. I had the opportunity to drive a GT3 a few weeks back and loved the short gears. Will it be similar if I get Porsche to install the short shifter?

I have read a few comments already but it seems many people don't see a big difference.

Thanks in advance.



If you want to track the car a lot, then get it.

I have a good friend who has owned Porsche's for years, and he thought I didn't need it. I haven't tracked mine yet but will do so next year.

My salesman mentioned it as a possibility, but didn't push it. I test-drove a 997S with both the sport shifter and PCCB's. I wasn't particularly impressed with the sport shifter, but I could see that it would be useful for racing once one got used to it.
