no no no... it IS a clingon battle cruiser. on the paddle shifter side of things, one of my ex workmates from a previous job was a auto mechanic with auto electrical training. he had an Audi A6 he bought cheap off his girlfriends dad when he got locked in the slammer. Anyhow the 1999 A6 had a tiptronic gearbox. looks like a normal auto with P R N D etc, but with a stub out the side so you can push the shifter sideways from N to a shorter bit with + and - so you can drive the auto like a manual. since he had the car, but liked the thought of paddle shift from the steering wheel he rigged some sort of solenoid system to the + and - set. it blocked the column of the shifter in manual mode but once he pushed it across to the short bit a pair of paddles on the steering wheel came live. Press the right paddle and a solenoid in the shifter console went click and rammed the sensor, making it think the shifter lever had been pushed forward to change gear. press the paddle on the other side of the steering wheel... well you probably get the idea now :D How would an Audi motor + tiptronic box fit in a Z? :D anyone game?
