    Dang you!!! That does look bloody good. I guess putting stuff in the glove box might be OK. :lol2:
    I guess I'd also save about 10-15lbs without the console and brackets too. :naughty:

    Hmmmmm.......my 'Cuda will be a 340ci (400hp), 5-Speed, no A/C, no power windows, no stereo system like amps, subs, just one small single din CD player. No console.....hmmmmmm decisions, decisions.

    If it was a slapstick I'd go with console but since it's not, without looks like a 'Cuda should.  :2thumbs:

    I had to say console on this one, I couldn't live without it. It also adds that little touch of class not that any e-body needs more class.

    I'm leaning more towards no console now. lol I was thinking it doesn't take much to put my "crap" in the glove box when I get in, then take them out afterwards when I get home. I'm living for accessories and not the driving experience or car itself. I usually keep my wallet and cellphone on either side of my blazer so that's all I really need.

    The Challenger has a console, it's awesome and very handy but I think the 'Cuda should be without.
    It just looks more business, as someone else's has already said. Save a little weight too.

    I was going to add a console to my Cuda but now that it is done I really like the clean tough look of the no console pistole grip. Now my Challenger being slapstick shfter with a console I would not have any other way.

    Hell yes!!! That is super sexy mate, clean & tough, I love it.
    I've been looking for one with a tuff wheel as well as that's how mine will be......same as yours.

    That's awesome mate and you've sold me - no console it is.  :clapping: :woo:
    Ps: Do you have any other shots of the shifter, side on and a little closer?

    I think they look great either way.  I voted in favor of a console, but I've always like the look Dave's black 'Cuda looks without the console.

    I dont like consoles, especially on manual cars....to me they serve no purpose other than to hold a pack of gum and the seat belts, both of which it does inefficiently. I agree with the people before that said the pistol grip no console combo just looks like it means business. I love looking in and seeing the whole shifter tempting me, plus it makes the interior look bigger.

    I have to say I always likes consoles but not with the pistol grip shifter. It hides how how good the shifter and the boot really look. My vote is for no console

    After having an automatic and then a four speed console in my `cuda I`m taking it out this winter.I think I really like the clean look and showing off the Pistol Grip a little more doesn`t hurt!I`m also trying to take wieght out of the car so it`s a win/win for me.

    Thanks guys. I too like both styles, both are sexy as hell, it's a Manual, what's not to like?!! :lol2:
    But, I'm liking the no console look a lot more for purebadarseness.  :naughty:

    Plus, your mates get to see you fancy footwork a lot beter without the console in the way.  :eek7: :clapping:

    I think it looks better without the console, but for practical reasons like you stated before I would have to vote for the console.

    Also with the console, there is almost no way a passenger might bump/knock the shifter out of gear.

    Just my  :2cents:

    I like both…but I voted for no console.
    My favorite E-body would be a stick shift car without a console.    :clapping:

    Bucket seats, three peddles, pistol grip shifter and no console….yea baby, that’s sweeeeet!  :cooldancing:
