No offense taken. I was only admitting that I had an aftermarket shift knob
on the car. Have to compliment the other C Stock drivers for being nice and
helpful to a first-timer.
To the young lady who originally asked, put the knob on if you think it
looks cool. There is not a person who can prove that it will add that
1/100th of a second. If your visors flop around, pull them out. Are they
any different than sunroofs that are removed? If you get good to the point
someone might protest your shift knob...You will go home knowing you beat
them and they have to live with the knowledge they are a weenie. Just my
opinion.
