You want classic? The Hurst C4 ****, in white.
You want techno? The Flameball.
You want rice? Various graphite/leather MOMO's.

I'm surprised the search didn't turn up a dozen threads on this subject. I know there have been that many in just the last year.

Mine came off an Fbody, so the reverse diagram is backwards. I don't really like it though, but my stock on's leather fell apart. I want to get another one soon.

all you need to know is the diameter of the shift stick and you can get anything that you want, you don't need a "corvette only" special **** or anything.

Thanks for all the replies. I actually did several more searches and found alot of people recommending flameball.com. They had some really nice looking shifters so I might check them out but I was looking for some really off the wall ideas.... a pistol handle, baseball, hand scultered glass, anything out of the ordinary.

a Hurst prototype.

I only bought my backwards reverse ball because someone was selling it cheap and my stock shifter was nasty. I had originally thought it was a thandle, boy was I wrong. LOL

If the purist saw the rest of my car they would probably DIE!
the shifter is a Momo combat EVO. Kinda pricey for the shift **** ($110). but feels great in my hands. Never missed a shift! I have to have some kind of leather or material that sticks to my hand. My palms sweat waaayy too much when I drive this car! Hence the suede steering wheel!
