Short throw shifter drawbacks?
Some argue that the short throw shifter takes more force (due the shorter distance) and that can seem excessive (especially if you are a 165# weaking like me!
)? A larger concern is that when driving on the track, I know its very easy to tell which gear I am in w/the stock shifter by simply touching it to confirm position. I have been considering trying either the MGW or the Callaway this season and I am concerned that with the gears closer together, I may loose that feedback. I definitely don't want to have to look down or look at the tach when I am at 160+ mph approaching the chicane at the Glen. Do any of you have track time with the MGW and can comment?
THANKS!

There is no peer for George's design, unless it's his new design!
