i bet that would shave at least one second from 0-100km/h fromt he 924 and two seconds on the 1/4mile time.

That would work nicely with a 931.
So when are you fitting it Raceboy?

Yeah, but that thing's only single clutch, right?

Torque of a 2.0L 924 would probably blow that thing apart.

yea, the US NA version will probably slip the clutch in this one...not to mention ROW cars or even turbo cars
...how do you park that thing anyway?

6 speeds? Lame!
Wait a little longer, and get the 8-speed paddle-shift AT from the C7...

Naaa, rather stick with the stick.. Paddle shifts are boring as hell, even the good ones like pdk and dsg. At least for a fun/track car. But its funny to see how similar it looks to a snailshell, i wonder how weight and size compares?
