After lengthy conversations with representatives from a few major US shifter manufacturers (B&M, Hurst & Pro 5.0), and after testing several Australian short shift options, I have concluded that the US manufacturers see little to no demand for the GTO application. This translates to little to no interest in building a production product. However, there is one long-shot option to have a GTO short shifter produced by one of these US companies, with an 8-10 week production time. While the quality and price are excellent, the barrier is the quantity; the initial order request is three hundred (300) units, which I believe would take years to deplete based on the current demand I see for short shifters. I think I may be able to sell it through at a lower number...
At this point, this option rests in the hands of you, the GTO owners, and is based on quantity. Thus, this is my request for those of you who are serious enough to commit to make a post. I will take the total requests to the manufacturer and attempt to sell it through. Below are some details.
Details:
Maximum price of $250.00
30% (Approx) reduction throw
Improved gating
Lifetime warranty
Etc.
