I worried about the hard shifting short throws before I installed ths Hurst. Takes about an hour behind the shifter before you forget about the mildly harder throws.

I have had the Hurst in my car for over 3 years and have had zero issues with the shifter other than the smile on my face going between gears

I ahve used both the C6 Z06 shifter and the Hurst Shifter. For normal driving I would buy the C6 Z06 Shifter. It has the short throw like you want and is easy to shift.

For someone that is banging the gears doing 1/4 miles or HPDEs I would go with Hurst. It just feels like it can take more of a beating and going 2nd to 3rd you never miss. It does take more effort to shift gears and people that are in traffic a lot complain about it.

BTW - I have the hurst.
