Exactly what I was thinking. Grab that sucker mid-summer after some glancing sun rays heat that sucker like superman heat vision. Have the 6-speed tattooed to your palm

I can definitely see an advantage to a heavier weight as far as feel goes. Would make a shift feel a little more effortless. Dip it in a composite of some kind to reduce temperature extremes and that'd be a nice shifter. Probably feels good as is, so long as temps are moderate. I do get a bit of sweaty palm when I'm driving aggressively, could also play out poorly trying to grab a stainless steel shifter knob. Had that issue with my '08 Mustang with a Hurst short throw. The ball was fairly small and was a plastic composite. A little palm moisture with an aggressive shift and a stiff gate was a missed gear. Though in the Vegas heat, it was less white knuckling and more lack of adequate air conditioning
