It's kind of weird seeing a big hunk of chrome in a Camaro, but I've never used one, just seen one. If you're interested in one, I can't see how you could go wrong.

I've got one. I will try to put some pics up later tonight when I get home. I like it a lot but I did have to make a custom stick to put it on because the stock one and the one that came with the billet plus did not look good at all with it.

I found this in a thread on another site..... a rather unusal, but literal interpretation of the term "Pistol Grip".....

It takes a little getting used to putting it into 6th and reverse since it's a bit of an odd angle with the pistol grip. Even with the WS6 store short stick, it could still stand to be 1/2" - 1" shorter since the handle is so tall. I've seen pics of it on a stock shifter and it looked retarded being so high up. The bad thing about this or any aluminum ****/handle is they get REALLY hot when they sit out in the sun all day! I had a round MBA SS **** previously and I'm suprised I don't have SS burned into my hand. This one gets really hot and you have to be careful if it's been sitting in the sun all day.

GETONE, can you put those type of Pistol Grip on A4 cars? I want one but when I read the description on aftermarket stores it says for M6? So I'm confused
