    Default Sv6 active select

    Hey just wondering if there is any way of fitting an auto shifter with the active select on the gear knob instead of on the steering wheel? Like in the ve?

    reason is because when turning the wheel and needing to change its a little bit awkward. and it would be cool to have both paddles and gear stick

    generally you change down gear before taking the corner and change up while straightning the car....
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    generally yes that is true, but still, can the mod be done or not? like the M3's how they have paddles and gear?

    Any mod is possible, it just comes down to dollars. But I don't know why you'd want to do it in the first place. Cost vs benefit = FAIL.
