Pistol grip shifters were first made available for the 1970 year Mopar 4-speed cars.

From a functional perspective, the grip shape may facilitate a more precise gear change when shifting a manual transmission.

Aesthetically however, IMHO...the overall appearance of this Hurst unit in the S550 console just doesn't work.
I believe it would be much better suited for use in something like the new Ranger or Bronco.
....Or the Batmoblle....:lol:

$200 for just a shift knob though? It doesn't make it shift any faster, just $200 for some VatoZone-looking accessory... What's next, fake fender vents, a "Limited Edition" placard for the trunk, some underbody neons, and a non-functional ABS hood scoop that attaches with double sided tape? Don't forget to pick up one of those Tornado Air Management Systems while you're at it.

I got it for the weight savings over the stock knob! :ninja:

It'll be interesting what happens where the auto levers go away and get replaced with dials or buttons - like they already did in other cars...

A $200 shift button is what will happen, and obviously, people will buy it.

handle came in yesterday, no time to install. Its cool but should be priced for maybe $50 on the lower end to $75 on the higher end.

God that thing is huge and ugly.

Hurst should have offered a low profile t-handle. That's what i'm waiting for.

it actually looks cool in the car. Does get hot in the Florida sun, need to invest in a window shade.

The first of Feb. wooden side plates will be an option and would be cooler in the sun. Loving my Hurst.

As an auto driver I have to say a $200 upgraded shift knob seems ridiculous and that does look like it would cost no more than $40
