New Release!!!!!!! Available NOW @ MB Racing!!!!

Directly from Hyrbid Racing:
" Introducing the Hybrid-Racing weighted shift knob. This shift knob weighs approximately 425 grams. That's more than 3x the weight of an equivalently sized 6061 aluminum knob and nearly 2x as much as an equivalently sized titanium knob. These knobs start out as a 1.875" aircraft grade ball bearing made from E52100 Alloy Steel. These aircraft bearings have a diameter tolerance of plus or minus two ten thousands of an inch. The shiny appearance you see on the outside of the knob is not chrome plating. E52100 Alloy Steel is also known as "chrome steel" and has such a high chromium content that it has this same appearance through its entire thickness. The metal is so hard (RWC60) that it can not be threaded, so we have to drill out the bearing and press in a threaded stainless steel rod. Finally, the knob receives a high polish and is laser engraved with the "hr" logo and "Hybrid-Racing" text.

We ran this knob in our s2k for a while and as Will said, "it's like the car is shifting itself." Shifting becomes almost effortless when you upgrade to this from a lighter knob. We considered going with a 2" ball, but that would increase the weight by nearly 25% and we felt that was beginning to get excessive as the 1 7/8" knob is already heavy enough to be considered a deadly weapon.

Shown here is the prototype. We are currently having a run of twenty of these made, and we will most likely make these a limited edition product (so get them while they're hot!). These will be priced at $79.99 and will be supplied with a chrome binding nut."
