[QUOTE="Vaelin, post: 745212, member: 10623"] For the most part, it's very true that it's technique and getting used to a shifter.. However, an aftermarket shifter has two advantages: (1) no/low learning curve on shifting because the shift engagement isn't vague and (2) adjustability for reach; especially for those who have shorter or longer arms than Ford designers. On non-Tremec trannies, they also have the added bonus of having shift stops to prevent you from slamming the shifter so hard you bend the shift forks. Obviously this falls under technique as well, but it basically allows a wider audience to drive these Cobras at their limits. *edit* My personal reason: I'm a short asian guy. I need all the reach I can get. ;) [/QUOTE]
