that is the question........My girlfriend has an '03 WRX with a short throw, i kinda like driving it. I have an '02 WRX with normal manual. Are there any reasons NOT to get a short throw?

 

here are some wise words: "to each is their own"

 

i didnt drive short throw, but the normal one seems ok

 

I noticed driving her car w/short throw it seems that the car is less powerful sometimes, i feel more pull with a normal manual (WRX), why is this?

 

Probably because you drive harder and the ECU in your car has "learned" this. I recently changed my battery and was amazed at how different the car felt with a reset ECU. It felt a bit slower and a bit smoother. Of course I floored it every chance I got for the next couple weeks and now it is back to it's old peppy self.
FWIW, I have a short throw in my '02. I drove it for a month before the short throw parts came in, and imho, it was not worth the money.

 

so you do or do not like the short throw?

 

I vote yes

 

Yes for sure.

 

Can any one thing of any cons as to why not to get one?
i can't

 

there arent any real pro's or cons , all a short throw shifter does is change the feel of shifting, if it feels good to you, go for it, youll improve your shift times a bit also, but without a lighter flywheel it wont matter that much cause you should still rev match...

 

I like it just fine, but don't consider it worth the extra cost.
