oh, and I like the hurst shifter.

To me, it's the most positve feedback. Very notchy, very tight. Tight like a tiger.

Nothing better then a tight,..whoops, wrong thread.

...anyways, yeah, the hurst is dope. I had several GT's and a cobra growing up, and i've always had good shifters in the cars. The Pro-5.0 was my favorite in the mustang, and the hurst, is the only shifter that I have came across that resembles that. Plus, it has adjustable springs, in case you'd like the side to side movement to be lighter.

I've tried B&M,...and it felt similar to a stock shifter. Didn't like it,...in my opinion.

I cant wait until 20-30 years from now when these things might actually start selling for more then chump change

They are getting pretty rare. The hardtops are more ''collectable'' in the older models.
