Message	It may work wonders for the shifting but, to be honest, the stock shifter isn't really all that bad unless you are getting into some serious racing. As for the work, it isn't exactly a grueling process. Seriously, how long does it really take to make one of these? I honestly believe the cost will be the death of these in a market where everything is eventually copied. My hope is that after the R&D costs are made up, the prices will drop significantly. Great product nonetheless. ----------------------------------------------------- Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!! Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM The unicorn gets its revenge... -- Scotts94z32 on September 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM CLICK FOR DETAILS ABOUT BUYING A ZAMA POSTER!!!!
