But I bet it makes a huge difference once tuned.

Yeah idk how people could talk **** about the hurst. I drive just fine with it. The short stick put all the gears in an awkward *** position on my friends shifter, he's got a hurst too.

I had a pro 5.0 in before. felt similar to the hurst.

if someone thinks the hurst is shitty, they should try a stock lt1 shifter!

Aren't the c7's supposed to be some of the lightest vettes they've made as well? If so 411rwhp will be plenty to make that thing move ouf

I agree on F-bodies. On the older 5.0 stangs, short shifter is like mod #1. Damn stock shifter is like shifting an oak tree,

No, it's a pig. It's over 3400#'s! Over 250#'s more than the current Z06, and over 100#'s heavier than the stock C6.

Yeah, it'd be nice. Basically, they changed to the aluminum frame that the Z06 and ZR1 had, which saved roughly 90#'s and they marketed that. What GM didn't tell you, is they gained back that 90, and added another 100. The new interior is REAL nice though, and the new LT1 is going to be a bad motor!

Ah gotcha, so in other words it had the potential to be lighter but luxury took priority. But you're right the interior on those things look great.

So what wieght reduction can I do that is easy, and free, besides a/c and back seats, I have a 2 year old so a/c in 90+ degree weather is a must, and well need the backseat for his car seat so besides that what are my options.
