No, there's an article of GTPorsche from way back that is all about the sequential application for GT3s and in that car the clutch had to be used. I think the benefit is that it is a little bit faster and it doesn't miss shifts. Don't know if I would run it for primarily street use, but on the track I can see the benefits.

This is just a shifter. You need to use the clutch for up-down. Definitely nothing like the cup cars that run straight-cut gears where you can just slam it on the upshift.

IMHO there are far better things you can spend your money on than this product if you're serious about tracking your car. On the street it's a useless gimmick.

While I agree it is a gimmick and perhaps it is pretty pointless but it is such a cool gimmick none the less...

Remember the Pet Rock? That was a pointless gimmick

Straight cut gears would not be in my TT so I guess it's time to build a dedicated cup car__right! Gimmick or not it still fun to have gimmicks.

well i have been living with a simmilar gimmick(Hor Technologie) for a few months now,and my experience is that it is very practical gimmick as shifts are very quick and precise at high revs and the synchronized box helps a lot on street/traffic driving where with the help of the engine torque car is more controlable when slow moving and parking/loading/unloading situations,besides it's much more fun than egear or a race box
