While Scope22 is far from the first to suggest coming up with an RJM STS I've driven many, many customers cars over the years both 350Z/370Z and thought the factory shifters felt pretty good compared to other manual vehicles I've driven. So I've never really given them much thought. On the flip side I've heard of many customers who've installed one brand or the other of short throw shifter who ended up removing them again as a very short stiff shifter gets old quick for 95% of normal driving, especially for those who daily them. So I can see both points of view on the subject and at the end of the day to each their own. Honestly the best system out there in my opinion is made for the Ford/GM crowd that gives an adjustable throw ratio much like my AFP system where by threading the components at the base one way or the other you can taylor thd feel as you wish but I'm sure its patents prevent the idea from being used in other applications if someone doesn't already make a shifter setup like that for these cars.
