As far as I know, the 997 Turbo and GT3 use the same shifter, but the GT3RS uses a shorter version. The shifter in the RS is INCREDIBLE, but how much of that is the shifter assembly and how much is the actual gearbox (or for that matter, cables) is unknown.

I'm told that in our cars, the "regular" 997 shifter is plenty short enough, and feels great, but on 997 cars that I've driven it doesn't feel THAT short. Maybe a difference in gearboxes (don't the 997 cars use a Japanese box now?)?
