Stinger · 09-12-2008, 08:12 AM

I don't know. I found this to be...

Of course that retarded looking iDrive knob isn't helping either...

Other opinions?

Anyone who's played Super Mario Galaxy knows to jump in the air and land ass first on that iDrive knob to get some star bits

Seriously, what's up with the shift knob. "Hmmm, I wonder what gear I'm in? Better take my hand off the shifter and look."

ACS FTL

oldaccount · 09-12-2008, 11:12 AM

i like the novelty of the shift knob.

the idriver wheel, not so much.

Why is their shit so ugly all the time? Has it always been that way? They have the name but somebody needs to fire the designer of all this tasteless crap.

Year's_End · 09-12-2008, 12:50 PM

ACS fails.

Yeah, I don't know if that's always been their style; but from what I've seen of ACS in the last 3 years, I'm very unimpressed. It's a wonder they stay in business. Ugly body kits, ugly interior parts, horrid wheels.

Crimson92 · 09-12-2008, 01:23 PM

umm..ok

though sometimes i do wonder if im in 6th or 4th......

lame

Incompatible · 09-12-2008, 01:31 PM

Something else to take your eyes off the road.

goemony2k1 · 09-12-2008, 02:30 PM

looks terrible, something a ricer would put on.

A quick glance at your speedo and tach will tell you what gear your in.

3pnt4maro · 09-12-2008, 08:39 PM

its a cool idea...just dont think its particularly functional..at all

if you actually need something to tell you what gear your in then you prob need it in the HUD or in the guage display itself....not under your hand....

Zeiss · 09-12-2008, 08:43 PM

Looks like a item you would find on ebay for $30

What gear am i in?!

Barmats · 09-12-2008, 09:50 PM

I don't mind the look of the knob but what if you were in 4th but you thought it said 9th?

vAnt826 · 09-12-2008, 10:59 PM

eBay material. God I hope these $20 looking items make it on any 50k cars.

KonigsTiger · 09-13-2008, 08:36 AM

What the hell is up with ACS!! So over the top.

im spencer · 09-13-2008, 06:28 PM

You must be pretty minimal at driving if you need a freakin' screen to tell you what gear you are in
