retrotek electronic shifter

Was just curious if anyone here has tried this electronic shifter in their car? .. I saw an article on it where they installed it on a 3rd generation camaro, but didn't notice a price for it. The paddle shifter behind the steering wheel seems pretty cool.

Re: retrotek electronic shifter

sorry t o bring this back from the dead... but has anyone ever tried this system?

can you drive it as a normal auto with out shifting? and when needed start shifting?

im wondering cause ive drivn my dads acura rdx and it has paddle shifters and its nice to drive and when ya need to just mess around a bit you go into sport mode and shift with the paddles...

im wondering this.. cause my bird is a DD an i would hate to shift all the time from the paddle... just when ever i need the slight uuummphhh on the hihway or when i finally start taking the car road raciing....
