Looking for a sportier feel inside your Boxter, 996, or 997? A short shift kit can reduce the time it takes for gearchanges and give you a more positive, race car-like feel. Tony admits the factory shifter is

quite long, and the B&M short shift kit really shortens the throw. "There are two settings, a 15% reduction and a 30% reduction. The 15% is very noticeable - I can't imagine how short the other setting would make it." The B&M short throw shifter is CAD designed and CNC machined. They feature counter balanced bottom ends

and precision machining makes for tight tolerances that give these shifters a smooth and accurate shifting feel. Heyer Performance can install the kit so it's undetectable from inside the car with the factory shift knob and boot - the only difference is shorter crisper shifting action.

Vienna based architect Delugan Meissi won and is responsible for the design. Construction began in 2005, with a projected completion date of 2008 at a cost of 50 million Euros.

The Museum will have 21,000 square meters of floor space and rotate up to 80 historical vehicles and other exhibits from Porsche's history. Special subject areas will provide extensive information on Porsche related topics including motorsport activities. The facility will also feature a dedicated workshop for the restoration and servicing of thier own collection and historically significant privately owned cars.
