996 short shifter
Discussion
I've been thinking about this as well. Found the following part numbers mentioned above:
997.424.010.00 - For 997 Carrera approx £130
997.424.010.91 - For 997 GT3 approx £230
So I guess the questions are, is the GT3 one £100 better? Do you need to add the cables for the full benefit? Will the Carrera one be a big difference?
Thoughts??

My guess, and it is only a guess, is the 997.424.010.91 part number is the 997.2 (2010) shift KeepItLit refers to in his post on page one of this thread. 997.424.010.00 - For 997 Carrera approx £130
997.424.010.91 - For 997 GT3 approx £230

I suspect that it's most likely the metal bushed RS item.
For road use I found the standard 997 part number I referred to was more than adequate.
Check with your OPC to confirm which part is off which car.
Fitted the GT3 RS shifter mentioned above to my 996.1 yesterday and took it for a spin afterwards - much better action, much less slop in the shift, as said much more rifle bolt. £303 from an OPC inc. delivery, less PCGB discount, so £280 (I got it for less from the for sale section of 911uk - brand new but not needed). Takes about an hour or so to fit (DIY) as you need to remove the centre console, but is just a straight swap. Be careful when you pull the console out as it catches on the handbrake lever stem and will damage the leather (ask me how I know!) so wrap it in a towel or something to protect it, otherwise it is very simple. Instructions on removing the centre console are on Pelican Parts / the book "101 Projects For Your Porsche 911 1998 - 2008". Good luck!
