there is no best ****. ***** are 100% opinion. maybe look on autotrader for different cars with different ***** so you can see how they feel and what shape you want, etc.

C6Z06 ****.



Though I agree it's more personal opinion than anything else. You may like something completely different than I.

I like that c6z06 ****, might look into that. I have the stock hurst **** but like the hurst pistol grip, cause when I shift mines I keep my hand up and down like the pistol grip. It looks a little uncomfortable but thats how my hand is facing when I shift my car, my hand is necer facing flat on top of the ****.

Like Spoolin I have a collection.

I have the leather Hurst for daily driving and track days, the Hammerhead for drag racing and I bought a Jegs billet aluminum one that I am going to modify slightly for shows, if I do like it it was only $10. Plus I have the stock leather wrapped Formula ****.

I switch between the Hurst classic 6'er and Hurst stock, depends on my mood, took me a bit more practice with the ball. and yea, the shifter ring is busted, I've always taken off the entire console to mess with the shifter, and last night I decided I'd just take off the boot. FAIL. haha.

All of the TWM shift ***** are made fron Stainless Steel, so they're nice, and heavy.
You can also get them in Aluminum.

IMO, worth the money!
