Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
4trac:nberry:Aren't the paddles the same size as the ones on a TTS?
One problem with extended paddles is with Porsche the paddles move with the steering wheel. Ferrari paddles which are large are fixed. I am not sure I want large paddles moving when the wheel turns. They could interfere with the maneuver.
I noticed on a recent test drive of a 991.2 PDK that the paddles are smaller, AND more inset towards the wheel centre, than on our 997, to the point where anyone with smaller hands now has to rotate the wrist to reach them and shift (not the case with the older ones). No idea why Porsche changed them, and it is not different with the different steering wheel options - relative position of the paddles is the same.
Agree regarding the 991.2 PDK paddles: too far inboard. I do like the reduced travel though. The travel on the older design (2016 in my case) is excessive imho, and out of sync with the shorter and crisper travel of the shift lever when in manual mode.
