Only if you run over 180mph. For instance, most cars with less than 800whp will not go over 180. Here are their safety standards…https://airstripattack.co/wp-content...egulations.pdf

That looks exactly like one I had on my ///M Roadster back in the day, the Whalen Shift Machine. I think it is pretty much the same thing, CNC'd from a block of aluminum. I loved using that.

Thanks, I love it - shorter than the factory one, $1100 usd less than the gt2 **** and boot.

Combined with the short shifter and numeric shift cables, shifting is a delightful thing.

Perfectly weighted, fits in my big meat clubs comfortably.

What is it made of? My aluminum optioned OEM one will burn the top three layers of skin off if it is not covered if left out in a parking lot while I am at work....smh

Went to the race track, maiden voyage for the tire trailer. Have to say it worked great! Had a good time at the track too.

Yes indeed. It's why I stay away bare metal shift ***** here in Atlanta.

But Andrew may not have to deal with that much hot weather and direct sunlight.

Aluminum... I suspect it will get warmish.

Not nearly as bad as the titanium one in my sti; if it gets cold, it is unbearable to touch.

Rain is our mantra in Vancouver.

Don't break you Porsche in Vancouver and need the dealer for the entire month of June; I have just been informed management has stopped taking any further appointments due to being overbooked.

Must be a nice position to be in for the business, not so much though for the consumer.

Maybe they lost one or more mechanics. If so, then not so good for them.
