and to add to the discussion, weight totally matters on the Z. our clutch is kinda knotchy and when i used my previous knob...that was 1/3 the weight, shifts would sometimes miss and not fall into place completely, and a variety of little things if you werent careful.
Looks great sir

Also, I get an image in my head of some of you guys watching carefully as you use 1 finger to push the shifter into gear . I don't think there's any argument that weight can matter. However to me, on the Z, I just personally don't see much difference....I guess I must push it into gear with extra gusto or something.
