I actually drooled when that picture first popped up. I'm just going to pretend it was coincidence.

How different does a gated shifter feel? I'm going to hope it feels as good as it looks.

Just picked up my new company car a couple days ago so here's a crappy picture from my hotel window since I'm currently trapped in Detroit. Farewell S4, you were my favorite car~

If I could, I'd fit a gate shifter to every manual car I would ever own. :sun:

I'm honestly curious as well. They always looked to me like they would slow down diagonal shifts (like 2-3).

Yep.

That would be my main concern as well, with my luck.

But essentially with it being a fancy VW (German car) maybe it would work out well for you?

5 spoke split wheels? I still think they need to make a hellcat version, but I do like how the SRT looks and how silly it is.

It has the ugly 5 spoke Goliath wheels on it currently but they're going to live with the snow tires and I'm trying to get a reasonably priced set of the split spokes, preferably in black. At worst I can pick up a crappy set of silver or black and powdercoat them myself in whatever I feel like.

I only have 400 miles on it so far so I haven't even been able to play with it at all which is the worst considering how amazing it sounds just up to 3500rpm. It's definitely not as much of a drivers car as the S4 but then again I didn't like any sub-60k car as much as it which is why I went the complete opposite direction with the Jeep. The interior is really nice and there's tons of fancy toys plus it's just so absurd.

That exact car or an '80s Dodge Colt, cause my Dad had one back in the day and throwbacks are totally in.

I drove the 2-door version of that Colt in 1988/89 (maybe an '86 model?). 4-speed manual and an AM/FM radio. No extras (such as a RH side mirror, AC, etc.)

Holy poo poo. I've seen those things auction for 200k. Go buy the Superbird right now.

Edit- They also have a Syclone, an '05 Ford GT, two '57 Thunderbirds, and a Countach. The most AI of car dealerships.

A 426 Superbird went for over 500k at Barrett-Jackson IIRC. Although TBF, the prices at their auctions are often retardedly inflated.
