haha Denis, that shifter does draw some stares. TerryBPP was close, it was actually a factory option in the Hurst Olds (Cutlass) of the early '80s. A spinoff of the full race Lenco shifters called the Hurst Lightning Rods. You simply grab one lever for each gear down the strip. For street driving you simply ignore the two knobs on the right. The Lightning Rods were not available for the GN or GNX in any year, but I thought they looked cool and they do provide protection for a missed shift.
Console and A pillar guage pods were not factory either. It did have a factory tach but it was a linear light bar that was rediculously inaccurate. So I stuck a Autometer on the column. Larger injectors, turbo, fuel pump, and exhaust with a 3.5 in downpipe turn this grocery getter into a pretty mean street machine. Definitely not made for cornering.
hmmmm.... tried to upload a jpg of Car and Driver specs and says to make it 100k which will make the text too small to read. Might try again later.
