For those with DCT, do you use the paddle shifters?

Hah! That happened to me a few times when I first switched away from a manual transmission, especially when I would brake hard.

As far as the paddle mounting position, the F80s are fine. It would be cool if they were a little longer stock but thats a relatively easy fix.

To answer the OPs question—it's usually paddles for me unless, as others have stated, its not convenient to do so like U-turns or very tight turns. This is street driving.

FUCK HELL YES!!! God YES!!! My M2 mode has everything turned up plus the paddles. Downshifting and burning subie's is so easy and fun now. its my new fav hobby hahahahahaahaha!!!

Real question is, who's taking it past buck 40?

144. Hit it and backed off. Looking back on it, wish I went for 155. There is always next time.

unless u remove the gov, its gonna be a let down. 157 (2mph mark up) and the car quits. It could of done more easy, i didnt even use half mile of freeway either. Really believe these can eclipse 190 fully unlocked stock.

(will start a top speed thread for more)

I believe Comp Pack bumps it to 163, and those with tunes (I have one) it's removed.

Not many places to open her up like this without causing the “That Guy is an asshole” factor, safety of others we share the roads with, and the risk of going to jail.

Especially in FFX!

Comp Pack is no different. All M3/4 have the same top speed limiter set at ~163mph, unless someone took the "Driver's Package" option that raises the top speed limiter. The "Driver's Package" comes standard on the GTS and CS.

I’m with you - I rarely if ever use the paddles. May be because I grew up with manual cars, paddles never became intuitive for me.

Exclusively - my prev E92 M3 was a 6 speed, but whenever I drive a car that has paddles, I always use them over the console shifter.
