Other than the short shifter, both of these cars performs better than my S. The Elise feels like it's on rails and the 997S is a more powerful car, but I still prefer my S overall because of how it "feels".

I was concern about getting my SS at first because of the increase effort in shifting. Had it for about 1 month now and I can't imagine driving without it!
Hi,

You make a good point about the feel. It may well be better, but that's also subjective and maybe redundant if the stock shifter isn't really bad to begin with.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not discouraging the switch, if you want it, that's reason enough to do it.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
