My only gripe about the interior so far...

Shifter knob. Why??
Couldnt we just up the order for some of these?



From the Insigna. Very jewl like, very nice, very European. That black knob of rubbery plastic or whatever it is...ugh, not fitting of a car like this.

Why do you want an European-like shifter in an American muscle car. I think the thing should be made from the skin of our enemies and shock you when you touch it!

Just kidding of course!

Meh, doesn't really matter. One of my first mods will be a Hurst short throw...

One of my corvette books details how they studied all these different shifter types, probably 2 dozen at least. In the end, they ended up w/ a very satisfying feel. So here comes the Camaro. You'd think, maybe, they would use it. Nope. Agreed the new Camaro shift ball looks busy, round w/ flat sides, chrome trim ring and a contrasting silver tab hiding what is probably a fastening screw. Kind of an awkward look if you ask me.

That shifter looks sooooo much better then the factory one. While it comes from a fancy Euro-pee'n car, it would be at home just as much as in the Camaro.

I'm curious as to what the optional Hurst short throw will look like. Hopefully, they don't use the same knob.
