Congrats on the purchase, I see youre in Socal.

I have a Hurst in my C5, I love the darn thing. It's not really heavy, I hate how unprecise the stock shifter was.

C5 guys are now using C6 stock shifters in their cars. Im not sure how good or precise they are.

Thanks for the welcome guys!!!
Famous last words there about modding it. I remember when I told my wife how my new Z was fast enough and I would'nt need to do anything. I think that lasted about a week.
Enjoy the ride.
