GT3 Performance Goodies...

The sequential in the E60 M5 and the E63 M6 BMW's is fantastic and no clutch. The shifts are fast and almost violent but the transmission of the power is outrageous. I am not sure how it would be w/ the Porsche sequential gearbox. I can show you how the E60 M5 SMG tranny feels like.

The clutch is still needed. It just limits mistakes and quickens reaction time. I've seen some race car drivers match the revs for a no-clutch upshift.

This is just the shifter part. It still uses the clutch and I remember Cartronic used to offer it on the 996 models. There was someone here a while ago that tried it and didn't like it. If it might help with the 3rd gear stiffness I'm experiencing though and that's why I'm intersted in it at the moment.

i still think it is a good idea... mechanical over revs suck ... i have seen several people infront of me do the wrong gear and go into quick spin... i hate for them and really hate it when you are right on the bumper

Interesting comments on the same thread over at Rennlist.

It appears that the unit is a "Sequential Shifter" and not a proper sequential gearbox as some have explained above.
The Carbon roll cage notes some very interesting bullet points. I would be VERY surprised if this unit had an interior of alloy. They point out anti-splintering technology, which would have been a question of mine. They point out the TUV approval, and forthcoming FIA. And finally they speak of a computerized model for the winding of the carbon fiber.
Now, further to the point of an interior tube, they needed something to wind it to - What might this be that is either extremely light-weight or what could possibly melt away or "disappear" while in the autoclave.
We need more information.
Looks like great kit though.

Of course the CF cage looks cool, but you guy's are missing the point of it and didn't read the info LOL, its like 65-75% lighter then a steel cage, yet TUV approved and they say just as strong! That's sick.
This tuner seems like the real deal, tested performance enhancing goodies, I like!!!
