Which 5.0 u talking about

The B&M one?
Or one called 5.0?

And those hurst billet plus ones? why not those?? i mean hurst is a dependable legend in shifters and the chrome stick with the old school **** looks great also

www. pro50 .com

best made, strong, short throws, just because it a smaller co. not to many people get there shifter unless some one else reccamends it.

most people know the name hurst or b&m, but not pro 5.0

I have the pro 5.0 with the short stick and love it but man if you already have the hurst why get a pro 5.0? Why not just keep the hurst and get a short stick for the hurst? I had the stock z28 shift, thats hwy i changed mine, but I like the feel of my buddies SS with the hurst and the short stick. Save your money and just get the short stick in my opinion.

the Pro5.0 feel a hell of alot better then the hurst..

Also try an angled short stick, I got mine from speed inc and at first I wasnt sure about the short stick being angeled towards the driver, but its great for controlled shifting!

No its different.

You don't seem to hear well. The pro5.0 is by far the best, THE BEST shifter out their. If your going to buy a new shifter, don't ***** foot around, get the power tower by pro5.0. Your going to want a short stick also, so you might as well get a Lues. Its angled back beautifuly, perfect angle, and you can get both for like 215 bucks in one package from ATA.... The link I posted above.

I have the LSS w/ Stock Hurst. I like it but I've missed 3rd too many times with it. Also it makes alot of noise. Overall shift is great with this setup but you won't enjoy missing 3rd more than once. With the stock Hurst and stick i only missed third once but once i put the LSS on i missed five times or more in the past year. Don't mess around with it just go with the 5.0w/lss
