Jedinite,

I do have some high res versions I can send you. I need to get the rest of the show off the memory card. I've got the new GTO, rx8, etc on it.

haha the reason the shift knob is actually there is because it was press release/dealer day, before the show went public, car feels very solid, gears feel unmissable thanks to tripple syncros...

 

So who on the Sales staff besides you got to go? Im sure you wernt the only lucky one right?

 

Did you actually drive the car then? As far as I know synchros only work when the gears are actually moving...

 

I sat in the car and played around with the gears. Since the car wasnt moving, the most I can say is that the shifting was very solid and the throws were short. I was impressed with the overall feel of it.

I agree with iodine, there's no way to tell how the synchros work if the car isnt running.

 

Thanks for sharing the pics!!!
