Hurst pistol-grip shift knob on factory shifter. I've used it on on my 05 SI hatch, and on my 300ZX twin-turbo. It's weighted and feels like it was molded to my hand...

I found mine on the shelf at an Advanced Auto back in '05, but I never see them anymore. Yes, this knob has lasted me on three different cars seeing daily use for nearly 8 years.

You can still get them at Summit Racing and the like.

The shifter is mostly used for autocross guys so that they can move their hand from the shifter to the steering wheel faster. I just like it because I'm so tall in first gear it's an awkward reach for me with a short shifter.

It will be funny if you drive with it and all sudden the cops pull you over and look into your car.

"Son, are you drinking?"

"No"

"I see you have something on tap, can you please step out of your car and place your hands on the hood"

:lol:
