Default Hey Everybody! Look at this new shifter! Please everyone look and give opinions!

Found this shifter at http://www.heeltoeauto.com, http://www.heeltoeauto.com/main.shtml

If link doesnt work go to website, youll see it on the front page, FLP performance shifter. In my honest opinion the first time i saw it i was like oh my god that is gay. But after looking at it and seeing the vids I really want one bad.

Check it out and give your opinion, good or bad, any problems you think it might have, tell me what you think!

Thanks in advance!

I think it would be more comfortable and easier to shift.

Take your right hand, and place your thumb on the edge of your steering wheel, at about the 4:00 position. Then stretch your pinky toward your shift ****. There's going to be a considerable distance. With the higher shifter, you should be able to touch both the thumb to the wheel, and the pinky to the shifter, at the same time, excellent for road racing.

You'rer missing the point.
Even with this 'large' shifter it's possible to make it so it has short throw, like with short gear shifter. In that case it's perfect combo

tall shifter functions better that why they have it in WRC. but the throw is small and its a sequential tranny. its the looks that will stop it from getting popular. form follows function?

I think it's sexy, just like a turbo gsr. Not as sexy as my DD though.

The gallery holder has the option to make their gallery private, thats why the message keeps popping up when you click it.

I don't have any pics in my gallery anymore, somone linked them off of HT, and used up all of my bandwith for the month in about 5minutes, so it's empty now.

I think it looks funny, and from the video it doesn't look like the shift throw was shorter than any stock shifter. What's the point of it? &lt; that's my opinion, feel free to bash it.
