You know I can't ball like you. Bowdown to the 98-00 SC4s. I could never find one, maybe someday.

Seriously, why not just go all out and get an LS460 8-speed? That would be the truly unprecedented and entirely unnecessary mod.

Ok, makes sense. My car and yours are twins. Too bad, you got the better motor, better tranny....

Oh wait...I guess mine is the retarded and deformed twin, like a car with down syndrome

Damn bro, your shifter wood doesn't match anything around it. No offense to SLY, but I think YOUR 5 speed is more user friendly than his. If you look at my orignal picture, I love that the 3-2 down shift is straight down, where as the the 2-1 is over and down (harder).

On his lexus 5 speed, the 3-2 downshift is over and down, whereas on yours it is straight down.

I use the 3-2 downshift most, so I like the 4 speed gated and your MBZ setup better than the SC4 5 speed.

lol did you guys miss the very first reply to this thread?

no the cluster is correct. The non-D items are illuminated brighter so as to make you more aware that you are not in D. Check out your N, its the brightest of all of them. the D is dimmer green so that when you are actually in D most of the time, it will not be annoying to you as you drive.

i think the MBZ shifter is the same as mine, from 3-2 it goes to the right, not straight down. OLT PLEASE CLARIFY!!

Just because my brain is worth more than a LP640, certainly doesn't make me smarter.
