"Reverse engineering". A great saying for completely dismantiling a perfectly good racecar. Dude, we got some work to do.....

And another Dog Ring trans expert sent me this bad ass video of a Jerico'd GT350R @ Road America...

Very cool video. I would like to see a full "in cab" view of the driver. To be able to watch the steering and shifting all going on at the same time.

There was another dash cam video with rpm/mph/gear/g force.... From inside a 69z. The shifting was going on above 8,000 rpm much of the time. That driver did not seem to be as smooth through the corners as the mustang driver. Fun to watch any of those.
Its at the bottom of the screen after the mustang video ends

Uh yeah.... so our trans swap and oil cooler project turned into this??

I've never seen a aftermarket shifter like that! I bet its a great fit on the hand and shortens the throw quite a bit

Let the conversion begin!
I like your new "shifter" beer bottle design.
