If i am wanting to use this grip as a shifter handle, how can i mount and could it be wired to control different things? (Like a radio)

I’m a not sure you can use it to control other things, the grip is designed to be connected to a PC and it requires Thrustmaster’s proprietary software (T.A.R.G.E.T.) to in order to operate.

Why does this look like the warthog joystick, unless the usaf uses the same joystick?

Both the A10 and F16 use the same grip IRL. Interestingly, the F-117 Stealth Fighter also uses this same grip IRL.

Can you use it for a car gear shifter?

I doubt it without serious modifications, the bottom has a proprietary electrical connector surrounded by a threaded collar that is completely different to an automotive threaded shifter shaft.
