Hey Timster I resemble that remark. I'm changing allot of stuff but, do not think I could swallow the paddle shifters. Not sure yet what i think about them on the Vette. It is a situation where surely it will benefit some in a real down to earth way. But, when it comes to the Vette it needs to be 6 on a stick and stick changed out to a short throw shifter. In fact would not mind an inline shifter to just click Your way up on a legal race track  not on the streets. Inlines can give You just enough edge to win. Ran one on a 1968 Mustang coupe that was ported, polished and blue printed with a block setup that was one of the last 2 left in the Ford warehouse while Gapp and Rousch was still with Ford. Friend found them so We jumped on them. It had all the inner race guts with it and I never could rev it enough to hurt it, especailly on the line with line lock. I guess that is why I guess the Vette should be a stick. If nothing else for the good old days and the background of running high HP cars with stick not automatic like paddels. But, the paddlers may serve a real good purpose just not read up on them enough. I'd drive it though if it did have them most likely would not take the fun out of it.
