Stationary Paddle shifters?

Do they make stationary paddle shifters for the 2012-2014 camaros? I don't like how the paddle shifters move with the steering wheel so I was wondering if they had stationary.

There is nothing stationary that is column mounted but if you prefer them shifter mounted you might find these interesting

Sorry was just asking because I like them stationary ever since I drove my dads car that had them like that. Also the size of the paddle shifters are kinda small.

Yeah I think I am going to go with something like this since I guess there are no stationary ones. http://www.vitesse-motorsports.com/c...fters-2012.htm

You'll love them, I was #5 when these came out, and still love using them to shift. Super easy to install as well.

My hands move with the steering wheel and I'd rather the paddles be stationary too.. I'm sure on a road course they're fine but just turning at intersections you have to turn the wheel too much and sometimes have to fumble for the paddle.

Hurst has paddle shifters on their website for the 5th gen, and this company called Vitesse also has paddle shifter products

Haven't I seen an aftermarket auto stick with + and - buttons on it instead of "paddle" shifting... or did I just dream that?

Nope - not a dream. Something like these (1-Malibu, 2-Ford Version, 3-CFD I think, for Camaro):

I've had these on my ZL1 for about a year now, and while I agree stationary paddles would be better, I don't have much issue with these on the road course. The increased size definitely helps.
