Default Installed the Short Throw in the Goat.....

Well last night I went by Don's (Slowhawk) house and had him throw my short throw shifter in the car....feels awesome. It feels like a completely different car. He ended up welding my stock handle because I still haven't gotten a **** for the aftermarket handle and even that feels 100x better.
BTW this was the 1st time I have met Don and I have to say he seems like one of the nicest guys out there. Very knowledgable and friendly! Big thanks to Don on this one.....definitely hope to get the goat going faster with his help!


BTW if anyone has a factory ****...let me know!

That shifter setup definitely isn't as easy as a F-body/Vette setup Can't wait to tear into your car,reminds me of a certain Turbo GTO out there
