F1 Steering/Paddle Shift Interest? Manual Wheels avail too!!!!

I recently read a post someone made in here about some people interested in having a paddle shift option. Shortly after I replied to it saying that Speedart does have them available I got few PM's asking for pricing. So my question for you is:

Would there be an interested in started a group buy for this option?

We also have available custom steering wheels for the Manual guys and if you want to match the shift boot, we could most likely arrange that as well.

All steering wheels are suggested to be installed by the dealership.

Here are some pictures.





If there is any insterest please feel free to post up, The RETAIL basic Steering Wheel starts at about $2500 for Alum. Wheel with a leather air bag and F1 Paddle shift., The carbon fibe and comeplete leather wheels I beleive are about $300 to $500 more. I Will take care of all incoming air freight so it will just be a flat $30 shipping charge anywhere in the US.

Are they using your original steering wheel or are they using a completely new one from Porsche?

Are the paddles column mounted or steering wheel mounted ? IMO column mounted is better. Will the paddles make shifting faster, slower or stay the same ? If the paddles won't shift the tranny faster, then why bother ?

these good questions that I dont have answers to at this time, I do know that even if they didnt shift the tranny faster its better to have both hands on the steering wheel. I will find out though today about where they are mounted.

I like the first wheel on the first post. Silver on black with the buttons on the wheel and paddles behind it. I also have a M3 with SMG and its nice to have the paddles on the wheel, its much easier to shift and keep your hands gripping the wheel. Please give me any imfo on this wheel. Thank you, Marco
