Quick update, installed do yourself a favor and stick a neodymium magnet near the tip of your screwdriver, sucks the screw and washer tight to the tip. Spring tension is good so far ( no power pull from depressed shifter when car off). Minimal knob play ( pun not intended). Smooth shift to...
Received mine while I was out of town. Haven't installed it yet. Ball has minimal 1/16 inch play uninstalled. Ball VERY weighty ( like suitable for clubbing seals heavy) Don't know yet if spring is up to the task of the weight ( might install heavier spring) All in all, a well made piece of kit
I got an email with tracking number yesterday evening. I requested (and am hopefully receiving) the improved design. Hopefully those that had the original design will see shipping notices soon.
I will let you know what arrives and when.
Got probably over a million miles in a Vic. Would have been much more fun in this. But nobody ever got away driving, Numbers and roads were on our side ( we still have a chase them till the wheels fall off policy for pursuits involving serious crime).
Other side of things, a guy out in...
I too am a member of the "car a month" club, last non4x4 vehicle prior to my GT was a WRX hatch. Tons of fun, but doors sounded like an empty beer can when you closed them.
With a Tune it was a hoot, but I really like the on tap power of the Gt where I use it most (70-100pmh) overtaking, and...

I may be a dissenting voice here, but America is partially about want, not need.
If YOU can afford it ( and have a plan for an oh crap situation) the. By all means get either. I bought a GT because that's what I WANTED ( with an auto trans).
If things went to crap tomorrow, I could still...
Decided to order one based on the improved design, we will see how it goes. I do appreciate a small shop willing to admit to issues, and then work to improve the design .
New to the forum ( been a while since my 70/302 and 85 t-top Gt ).
Went looking and WANTED a 15 new ( hey first production year with Irs across the board)
I also wanted AT, 3.55, premium ( wife likes ac seats), backup camera, and guard color
Found one at a local dealership that I have...
Ok, my second post on this forum.
Nicely done. I too liked the wide body 240/60/80 z cars. ( had a 240 with a 350 shoehorned into it)
This DOES have a mad max feel ( that's a GOOD thing imo).
Great job for taking what I can only assume was a gut wrenching risk to do the mod, payoff is...
Usually there are vouchers for military, prior military, and most public servants. May be some more out there. I know I used mine when negotiating for my GT
