Hey ergo another strange but true 12C ownership fact: The original paddles loosen up over time. At around the 1 year mark, the effort required to pull became significantly less, as if the spring became worked in. I actually inquired about replacing them back to delivery spec!When I drove a 2012 I actually failed to grab a shift, that's how much pressure it took. In retrospect that was fine, just took a learning curve. The new system takes a soft touch for the Pre-, then comes a loud artificial click, as if the rpm change didn't audibly inform the driver. I don't know what the power modes do to change this. I pull the paddles slow like a rifle trigger all the time. At city traffic speeds it fends off boredom in a quite computerized car. And that way you get both smoothness and immediacy without being on redline, ie 95% of driving.

I thought so too, RIC, so I compared to the bare chassis in the showroom for confirmation. If your dealer has one, check for yourself.6th, maybe your fingers have become stronger?![]()
When a car is upgraded to the new software and new hp, that is it. If a customer wants the newer steering wheel with the lighter action, that is extra. It is not part of the upgrade.After reading all reply's I am still not sure about Pre Cog when I drove an early 2012 you gave the paddle a half pull to let it know what gear you were going to use next, now on my updated 2012 is there still a half pull but not really noticeable I don't feel any detent, is pre cog gone is it just software now and if so how does it know if you want an up shift or down shift next. How about a simple explanation of what we have now if anyone really knows.
So you are saying the pre cog is still there just harder to feel when pulling or pushing on the paddles, or are you saying it is gone without the new steering wheel?When a car is upgraded to the new software and new hp, that is it.

The car I drove at Exotic's Racing had the new steering wheel. I did not feel it, it is gone IMO. My car has pre-cog though, and I will be getting rid of it soon. It is easy enough to figure out, but takes extra time and effort, so I would rather not have it.So you are saying the pre cog is still there just harder to feel when pulling or pushing on the paddles, or are you saying it is gone without the new steering wheel?
My point exactly my dealer on delivery when I asked about it said it is gone, and I feel nothing there is no halfway, that is why I keep asking I believe it is just gone on 2012 with update. Yet I keep reading posts that are misleading. I think people found it confusing and hard to work so it was eliminated.The car I drove at Exotic's Racing had the new steering wheel.

All you have to do is get in a newer coupe, pull either paddle, if there is no effort, car does not have it. It is easy to tell the difference.

Not sure if you are talking to me, but no, I still have the original 2012 spec steering wheel. The paddles have the detent. Even after the big 10.2 upgrade, Pre-Cog exists, and can be manually controlled if you have the original paddles.So then you updated to the 2013 spec steering wheel, to keep pre cog active
I don't know why you are having such a hard time. 2013 spec steering wheels do not have pre-cog. Would you rather make 2 pulls, one 1/2 pull and then another 1/2 pull to get an instantaneous gear shift, or 1 1/2 pull? The newer paddles don't have pre-cog because you only have to pull a little bit to get the click, not a lot like the older paddles. Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Nissan have no pre-cog. It really has no use.So then you updated to the 2013 spec steering wheel, to keep pre cog active
Speak for yourself. None of those guys offer a a carbon tub at this price point, either. Does it have no use?Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Nissan have no pre-cog. It really has no use.
