Funny thing...I searched for M7...their in SoCal...tuning mostly Mini's. I sent their owner a email...hope to hear form them soon.

Retail for the Mini is $6900. 200ms shifting may be worth it.

6900 + customary porsche tax = ~10k would be my bet.

So do you use the clutch to get into 1st and get rolling then the system takes over? More info is needed.

Looks like he's depressing the clutch for each shift??

i think he's still doing the clutch. what's the point? 200ms is about the same speed as a tiptronic (250ms). that stick in the center console looks like a broom. LOL...

I'd like to see a vbox run and see how long your shifts really take on this system. Very cool none the less.

Looks like a fantastic product. The cosmetic look of the kit could be improved. If I'm spending that kind of coin I want it to look like the factory installed it. To bad Porsche doesn't do this at the factory. I put paddle shifters in my car, but it has the tip trans.

nice! but it looks like it's not a true paddle shift system since the manual clutch it still involved. 200ms is very good though. My guess on cost for the Turbo is $12K. thanks for posting.

The first thing he's gotta do is learn how to pronounce Porsche....
"No blisters on your hands".....please. This guy is a salesman for sure and that's about it.
