I like the cars but this old gear jammer would rip the shifter out of it. Cables don't get it for the old guy. Just got back from FL with the companies LPE converted Camaro 600 HP whipple s/c car. Can't say I like the shifter in it either. But we didn't break it. Just had to be careful with the narrow gate. Seems today's cars are about convenience not quarter miles no "rock crushers" in the new ones. But I will add a car likes Steve's sure as hell comes on once the turbos come up to boost. But I still like to bang shift and that you won't do. That is why I don't mind the auto in the XF.
