you can do what you want to...but if you get rid of your pro 5.0 you will learn to regret it..i ditched the stock hurst on my formula as soon as i could..i love my pro 5.0 and wouldnt trade it for anything.

I drove my friends 2000 Z28 and i loved the feel of his stock Hurst compared to my pro 5.0.... my other friend has a Mustang GT and same thing, pro 5.0 is all clicky... what else is popular?

PRO 5.0 is pretty popular.
B&M ripper seems most like the 5.0 better.
The most used I think is the stock hurts and add a lous,ws6,umi short stick for quick short shifts.

I have the hurst and the lous and I'm really happy and its easier to get into gears.

I had a Pro 5.0 on my stock tranny and loved it.

Got the new built tranny, and there wasn't enough spring tension to bring it back over from the 1-2 side. Put a Hurst unit on there and it's pretty stout.

I'm running a Pro 5.0. I love it. No problems here, even on my built trans.

We have Pro 5.0 on all our cars and love it. B&M is another popular one you might look at. Alot of my customers really like it.

I row a B&M Ripper and I like it, the only downside is that the stick doesn't unbolt from the shifter.

Seems like the Pro 5.0 is the most popular with the customers.

I love the click of the pro 5.0. If you have a more refined taste and are less of a hardcore racer type, then i would look into the stock hurst. mabie see if your friend wants to trade???

I have a Hurst Pro Billet in my Firebird. Love to feel of it (similar to my friends pro 5.0 but without the "clickiness you described) and the look of the polished stick with Hurst etched into it and a classic black shift ball.

I took out the stock Hurst from my SS and went with the Ripper, but having previous experiences with the ripper in a T5 and another T56 car of my own really made the decision easy for me... not a huge fan of the pro 5.0's myself but I'd not say no to one if the price were right

I have the stock Hurst in my SS...with Lou's short stick and I like it. I have had this setup since Lou himself put it in my car back in 2002. I have never driven another car that had something different so I have no point of reference....but like I said....I like it!
