the sti ss is not a pos in my opinion, and i think many others will agree with me. the throw is just as short as the kartboy, trust me i have had both which is something that most others can't say. the kartboy, at least mine, was very knotchy feeling. the sti is very smooth. i can shift faster with the sti than the kartboy. actually i could shift faster with the stock long throw that the kartboy due to the knotchy binding up shifter.
just my opinion.
others??
