I have the stock hurst that comes with the Firehawk installed right now, but I have driven my friend's zo6 with a hurst short shifter in it and LOVE it a lot more than mine. I have heard a lot of good things about the Pro 5.0 but I haven't talked to anyone who has driven the hurst short and the Pro 5.0. I think those are the two to go with though.

I have driven cars with both the hurst and the 5.0 I actually own a 5.0 and have to say that the husrt is a horrible waste of money sorry guys. I have also owned a b&m I would say that the b&m wouldnt be a bad choice either. I dont know about the slp but I hear it is the shortest.

Never tried a pro 5.0 (I've heard lots of great things about it though). I've got the Hurst Billet plus and absolutey love it!

Mine isn't noisy AT ALL. Use a thick rubber gasket, and some teflon tape. My hurst was louder than my pro 5.0.

I love my Pro 5.0 and wouldn't change it if I could. It is louder than the stock shifter but I'm sure that's due to my lack of knowledge and experience on applying RTV sealant. I may take it apart in the future and reapply the sealant.

i might have to try that. the extra noise doesnt bother me at all, its just something ive noticed over the stock shifter.

I've got the b&m but imo it's not short enough, I either want to get a shorter stick or 5.0
