Question for PDK owners, when you do deicide to do the shifting for yourself, which do you find yourself shifting more with, the paddles or the shift lever?

I thought I'd use the paddles more (because that's where your hands are) but I find myself preferring to use the shift lever. I like the weight of pushing it back and forth. Especially exiting corner if the steering wheel is all crossed up.

What about you guys?

 

If I am turning it's the lever.

 

Since enjoying a HPDE in NJ, with an Instructor next to me half the day.
I always use the Steering Wheel Buttons.
Much more in Control with both hands on the wheel.

 

Generally I prefer the Paddles.

That said, quite often I find my self crossed up in a turn fiddling around trying to find the paddle. So at times I find myself switching over to the lever to supplement the paddles.

 

Straight lines = paddles every time. Twisties = lever (but only when i have to...)
I agree the lever has a nice weight to it and feels good to use but I'm too lazy to move my hand 6 inches from the wheel when the paddles are 'just there'

 

Neither.

 

All-paddles with the exception of the occassional 1-2 shift while turning at an intersection. Fixed paddles would solve this, but might be a pain at high speeds.

My Rube Goldberg fantasy would be paddles that are fixed at low speeds, then move with the steering wheel at higher speeds, say 20+ mpg. Porsche Active Shift Paddles (PASP)

 

I prefer the (unpopular) steering wheel buttons when I want to shift myself. I can shift up or down with either hand while keeping my hands on the wheel. I infrequently shift myself on the road but a couple places a lap on most tracks, even though I leave it in Sport Plus/Automatic mode.

 

It's funny, I had predicted I would use the paddles 100% of the time in stead of the backwards lever. Now after some time I notice I don't use the paddles anymore, 100% lever now (on the road, no track use) even though it is backward. Not only because in my mind (could be perception only) there is a noticeably crisper shift with the lever than with the paddles with less lag. But I also tend to shift down before corner entry a little bit earlier with the lever, making my entry tiny bit slower, my lines sooo much smoother, hitting apex better, exiting more efficient, sooner and faster.
All very strange and unexpected behavior. Testament to the strength of a Porsche 991 that can adapt and mold itself to a lot of individual driving peculiarities of different people.
