New Shift **** that feels better while dragging

Mods, please dont move this thread as I believe this type of shift **** actually works for the drag racing scene.

I have been looking for a nice shift **** for awhile and I wasnt happy with the ball types that were out. When I went to Carlisle I saw a **** from GEF racing that was what I had been looking for. It just needed some minor modifications. After talking with GEF they went ahead and custom built a couple of shift ***** for myself and Blackhat on this forum.

Let me tell you these were nice. It actually feels like a real peice shift ****. Two styles were made, one with just 4 finger loops up front and another with extra loops on the side to better help wrap you fingers around. I took one of them to the track with me and it felt awesome. I could easily feel my way through the gears while shifting and never had a problem with finding a gear. I really like the feel and besides I think this shifter just looks really cool.

That definitely does look pretty cool. I still like my T-handle though.

Looks like they just machined a Roush ****--I just got the Roush **** and it is identical except without the finger grooves. Looks good. I never cared for the feel of a round shift ****.

I know it looks like the Roush but it is custom made out of a peice of billet aluminum. I was suprised how good it felt. If anyone is interested in it just PM me and I'll give you the info. I paid 50 bucks but if people want a group buy they might be able to get them cheaper.
