...ah yes, the paddle shifters.. We played around with those for a bit earlier this year..great concept and personally I wanted to see it through.. problem was, there was ALOT of engineering work that was required to have these work on the newer electronic transmissions on our cars,corvettes,camaros etc etc. and the pricing would not have been very good...I can tell you though that we are working on a "Heads up display: though.....shhhhhhhh

You're a bad man... Do you torture little animals too?

Seriously, the HUD would be great, can you include a G-meter to monitor cornering performance?

oh, it will be a little while still.. We are looking at MPH and RPM now but possibly with the option of a couple other features. The unit is small and should be priced VERY nicely!

How freaking cool is that! Sign me up right now. Ever since the corvette has had a hud, I've wanted one.

How about "Tactical display"? You could have a little outline of a GTO on it for a targeting image...

I'm not interested in an automatic shifter, but a HUD (heads-up display) would work nicely! DETAILS PLEASE!!!
