In a 6-speed of course...

 

If it works well and looks good, I'd put a shift gate in my car.

Neat Idea:

But to my knowledge, our shiter rod is not thin enough to have a gate similiar to Ferrari.

 

I will get one for sure..........

 

No thanks.

The stock shifter is quite thick and quite unattractive under the boot. Of course, there's a reason it's shaped the way it is and that's to cut down on vibration. So unless you're planning on replacing the stock shifter with a more attractive one then you'll have an abortion on your hands. Hmm, but if you do that how will you engineer the vibration out of a thin undamped piece of metal?

Quit while you're ahead Rick. I don't think this will enhance anyones experience with the car other than those who don't drive it at all.

 

I am interested.

 

As much as I love the idea, I don't think it'll work very easily. Look at how thick the shifter is under the boot.

But hey, if you can make it work properly, and I can still shift the same as I do now, I'd buy it.

 

I like the idea but since the S2000 is suppose to be a new interpretation of the roadster - the retro thing might not make sense from a concept point of view - I always have liked the shift gates on the new volvos - forgot what they are called but it looks like there is a ball at the bottom of the gate - very contemporary looking....would look excellent in S2000s
