I have been told that a hurst 6 speed is pretty rare. What is the advantage of the hurst over the regular 6 speed? Thanks a lot!

 

The hurst is a short throw shifter, which means your gear shifting motion is smaller and tigher. In all honesty I wouldn't pay a dime more for the hurst. Because as vast a difference you'll find between a stock shifter and the hurst, you'll find the same difference between a good aftermarket shifter and the hurst. The hurst is a good mid level shifter. But get a Pro 5.0 and you will truely enjoy each and every shift. The hurst is a good option, but just don't pay too much for it. A good aftermarket shifter(Pro 5.0, Ripper) only costs $160.

JMHO,
Mike
