While I'm waiting for my new Si to arrive I am being
"forced" to drive my S2000 (yeah, I know, "you poor SOB!
). Anyhow, many S2K owners
also want a shorter throw; there are at least two SS products on the market for the car right know. Same thing for Boxster/BoxsterS and TSXs, and I'm sure there are lots more for other makes.
I found that just installing a Voodoo Ball knob (deep recess) made for shorter shifts on the S2K, but I'd STILL like it shorter! I guess we gearheads can never be 100% happy -- always searching for that leetle bit "extra."
I think the really
high-end audio nuts are far worse in that regard than those of us who are middling-mod-insane with our cars.
BTW, I drove my S2K back-to-back with a 2003 BoxsterS ... Boxster tranny felt like rowing a boat by comparison. I hear the 2006 Porsches have shorter throws throughout the product line for MT-based cars, but they still aren't going to be short enough to suit me and/or anyone driving an
Si with SS + the washers/bushings/knob mods: this is almost guaranteed, and SS sales may well continue unabated. Ha! I'd still give a left you-know-what for a Carrera 4S!!!!!
