Just to make sure you guys have seen em here is a slick settup that is being sold and modded to equip ANY srt-8 with paddle shifters. Should be a hit with the road racers around here... http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70553&highlight=paddle+shifters
I've been driving stick for so damn long it's 100% natural to keep my hand on the shifter anyways, even when I'm not manually shifting the tranny my hand is on the shifter anyways. So for me it would not be worth it, but Dave if you want to do that shit on yours we can do it easily. Just let me know and I'll start planning it out on what parts you'll need, I was thinking the magnesium paddle shifters from the Evo would look sick and they're a basic 2 wire system too.
Just FYI. These buttons I have on back of steering wheel don't come with ShiftHammer. I just cut off bracket rings and wired them to buttons. The buttons are from Mercedes part shop. If you are serious to do stealth shifthammer, make sure you tell vendor (Rev Hammer or wheelife) to not include the bracket rings so you can get price lowered.
Dave, you should ask whether or not you can skip 1st gear with their setup... 1st in your car is completely useless... that's the rumor on the street.
Thats really cool. Thanks for posting this Dave. I might be getting some of these in the future. Anyone see how much they cost?
The kit was about $380ish but you have to buy those buttons from the Mercedes dealership for extra. Still not a bad price though IMO. JOHN!!!! Glad to see you have a post up brother!! Got both the beasts on the siggy huh?!?! When I get back I will have to get your assistance in 1. doing this mod and 2. doing a sig for me. BTW for anyone who did not know John, Haedes, had one of the baddest 300zx TTs on the road. He has a dyno sheet when she was making about 744rwhp/712rwtq. He was also running No2 if that wasn't enough lol. So if someone has Questions on Asian performance or Turbo's/No2 he is the man to ask.
rick - like scott said earlier, we both saw deafchargers car at the last m&g for our club. this set up is, as scott said, "the cat's ass!"..... very cool, very clean, and RIGHT up your alley rick. i thought of you as soon as i laid eyes on them!!!
