The way I'm understanding it is you can "pop the clutch" so to speak when you release both paddles.....but keeping both hands on the paddles upon release as well.
Where as on a Ferrari you can pull both paddles to put it in neutral (then you can take your hands off) but then to re-engage you just pull either paddle (only 1)
The 2 seem different to me......and if I understand this new GT3 gearbox the way I describe that would be pretty trick.....but I may be way off?

just back from geneva and had a great day, it was great to see the car up close and be able to sit in it ,touch and feel,what im going to say may cause a rumble but purley (in my opion)we all know the 911 shape is what it is and thats what we love about it so much,but the show car looked no different from a carrera s with a spoiler(bland)the wider body didn't really help either , and being in white with the grey wheels ceramic brakes looked no different to when they launched the 997 gt3,when sitting in the bucket seat nice and low it did feel good with a clunky industrial feel to the pdk paddles, but with the pdk script on the centre clock it felt again i was sitting in a carrera s with the bucket seat option,same seats weve seen for the last generation car( saving the fixed buckets for the rs)with this being a brand new model eagerly waited i expected a little more,even a different steering wheel would be nice with the square bottom as the cup car maybe ,i know to some these may be cosmetic but i think it deserves it as one of there all time greats!we know performance wise it will be fantastic and thats not the point here, i personally think it should be more special to stand by its engineering excellence,still great value for what it offers and a good speced up car in the uk will be around £110/12 thosand pounds( excluding ceramics)with it sitting next to the new cup car which looked fantastic, i will be waiting for the rs next year,it maybe possibly £20,000 more but with the design details and the extra performance, it will give me the grin factor i want from a gt car everytime i go for a drive ( buts thats my opion)
