My favorite was the 10th anny cobra knob.

The ZHP knob I put in my M3 was far and away the best shift knob I have ever used.

Of those pictured in the OP I prefer a ball style knob. T handles and pistol grips just don't work for backhand shifting.

I like the stock GT knob or a hurst T handle. If I had a leather covered T handle that would be great.

I've tried most of them out there, stock and after market. The steel ball with the threads cut directly into it, is the one I prefer. The weight of the ball dampens any lingering vibration and puts positive emphasis on shifts, when banging gears.

I really love the ergonomic feel that the 05-09 style stock shifter knob has to my hand. It's comfortable, it fits my hand and it's easy to grab. I didn't like the mach 1 ball shifter in my mach as it made my hand cramp up plus is was scalding hot in the summer time and burned my hand. The stock 99-04 gt shifter is too big for my hand as well. Never was a fan of the 03/04 cobra stock shifter.

I also had this style in the 6 speed version in my old 03 sonic blue cobra (still have that shift knob too).

Best substitute: Hurst T (blank custom drilled/tapped in my Bullitt)

i had the weighted 6 speed ZHP knob on my 540i (and Z4 short shifter), it was incredible. best i've ever felt in any car

Yes sir! I have yet to find another shift knob that feels as perfect as the ZHP one. Wonder if I can fit one in to my Mustang now...

Weighted MGW now, and it's amazing. Had a heavyweight Flossy as well, but the lighter MGW feels a lot more precise and looks better. And isn't from a shit company.

I am putting the 03-04 Cobra one in my GT and F'n Fast one in my Cobra. I didn't mind the Bullitt style I had in my GT, sucked in the heat though.

When I went to an meet dominated by "Imports" I saw lots of guys that loved glass dicks in their hands.
