[s-cars] SSK

[alexander witham]

Paul,

Perhaps, I shouldn't have used the word envy. Perhaps
I would be better off saying I simply lust after these
cars (not all cars, just the special ones). Yeah, I
know, I have a problem. 

That being said, I'm hoping to have the opportunity to
drive a Carrera GT this Spring. I'll be sure to pass
on my thoughts, if and when I do. I've heard one
flying up and down the street. The most phenomenal
sound I've ever heard come out of a car.

Never driven a Cobra R, but I had heard they're a
handful. I like my Cobra's shifter, great feel. But
it's the 5spd, not 6. 

As for Porsche, I've never driven one that I would say
has a rubbery shifter, especially with the SSK. I've
had the distinct pleasure of driving more Porsches
than I can probably remember and the only shifter I
wasn't crazy about was that of the '99 996 that
belonged to a friend. Apart from that they've all been
good, especially the '04 Turbo Cab with factory SSK
I've driven a few times. The throws are so short, you
think it's not in gear. Awesome.

Will anybody out there back me up on the BMW shifters?
I think they've gone down hill in recent years. Of
course most everybody raves about BMW shifters, so
maybe my expectations are too high.

Best,

Alex
