weight does make a difference.

also a knob can make or break an enjoyable ride.

For some transmissions I'd agree, but on the 370z's manual I see little/no benefit to it.

Weighted knob is better in my opinion. I switched back from weighted (password jdm) knob to stock.

I love the stock knob, but sometimes it rattles at high rpm.

that could be the pilot bushing inside that's rattling.

i use the Z's stock knob on my G, actually.
