[s-cars] Shift Knob

[TM]

The laws of physics do not cease to apply- titanium is heavier than
aluminum, both are much heavier than the factory knobs.

I think they chose titanium because it's "exotic" sounding and thus
"cool." Stainless steel would be a better choice in terms of weight,
but that would make a real brick of a shift knob, that might be
too heavy.

For an aluminum knob (but it looks like it's mounted w/ set screws,
which I hate), the AWE backlit knob is pretty cool. Also comes in
birdseye maple w/ a grey stain, ala S4tt.

The Momos all use aluminum, so they're not as heavy as the Ti UUC.

Thanks Taka, but I still like my S6+ six speed knob.

I am still curious why the laws of physics cease to apply to UUCs Ti,
and for some reason they claim that their Ti units are super heavy.
Perhaps they are just Ti coated brass. Who knows.
