That is bad-ass! But not $300 worth of bad-ass!

 

one of my friends has a cheaper version of that kind of shifter in his car. the thing is so cool, all you have to do is select the shift patern you have and bam, tells you exactly what gear you're in.

 

Pass.

 

Neat. But not $300 neat.

 

That's about $200 more than it needs to be, but very cool!

 

Kinda cool.

 

AAAHHHHH I DONT KNOW WHAT GEAR IM IN!!!!
oh its ok i know now.

but that would be cool

 

^ Threadjack, but do you have any other pictures of the sharks sticker, and where did you get it?

House O'speed has much better looking ones. They aren't lighted though. I bought the devil shifter and the thing is a work of art. Very well made and detailed.

Maybe if I was driving an 18 speed Mack truck.....otherwise.....I'll pass too.

 

:cough: rice. Honestly that's pretty useless. Especially as your hand will be covering it during actual shifting... and you'd be tempted to look at it while driving. Eyes should be on the road and at most shifting to the tach... not down to the gearshift.

On a side note, the Subaru Legacy GT (6spd manual) has an indicator in the high center of the cluster to show what gear you're in akin to an automatic transmission (and like this shift knob). It's kinda cool in a way but again useless. However at least this is by the tach and in a better position to see.

Still, no matter what you should learn your car, what RPM range at speeds the gears run in, and drive it proper. You need to know the rpm's to speed anyway for proper down shifting with minimal drivetrain shock (and for those saying coast to a stop in neutral... what about twisties and turns you don't stop at? ).
