I will run for cover now.

I also like the PDK push buttons better as I can shift up or down with either hand, AND when my hands are in the 10 and 2 o'clock position, I can nudge the button with the base of either thumb for quick upshifts. The worst are the older Tiptonic rocker buttons.

When u want to have fun, Sport Crono package is a must. WITH paddles, clear.

I have both on my 991 S and they are wonderful when u want to drive "like u where in a videogame"!

And then, LAUNCH CONTRIOL...a lot of funny things!

Clear is that, best paddles are those like ferrari (FIXED)...
