A mate of mine has a 2L ford focus, which has a short shift gear stick. They make such an improvment to gear changing time when overtaking or just when you want to boot it. They allow you to change gear faster which in turn will keep the revs up higher within the power band for the next gear. In theory they should reduce your 0-60 time (but only by a margin). I really want to get one and think that we should try and put together a group buy.
