Dont get either. The shifter is further to the pass side anyway and with the ws6store short stick it will rub the plastic housing. Just take the 5.0 shifter and cut a couple of inches off of it. It is angled towards the driver already.

Our short stick doesn't rub on any shifter. It does sit a little to the right, but doesnt rub by any means. Some people prefer the angled stick, some like them straight. I tried the angled at one point and didnt like it, some people do. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Some prefer just a short stick on the factory short stick...such as myself. Either way, if you purchase the stick and decide you dont like it, we offer a full money back guarantee.

i run the ws6store short stick on my camaro and am very, very pleased. I'd highly recommend them!

I've driven the pro 5.0 in my buddies LT1 and really didn't like it, felt too short lol

I have a Pro 5.0 with the 6" WS6 Store short stick and I've been very happy with it. It has crisp, short throws, and its very accurate. The overall height is short enough that it doesn't interfere with the stereo, either.
