get the C6 shifter . You will be pleasantly suprised. It has a wonderfull feel to it, not the short rigid movement of a Hurst or B&M, but rather a smooth flow like the C5 but even smoother. It seems more precise is the best way I can explain it. Also carries a much lower profile. I'm sorry to say that I didnt do it when I first saw other C5 owners doing it a year ago. But better late than never

Gs Creation does make a C6 shift that fits a C5. I have a B&M shifter and two days I go I installed the C6 shift **** on it. It took 4 min. to install. Looks and feels great. This is just the **** not the shift unit.
They sell on Ebay, here is the link

fits better than a glove. But its not a DIY, atleasts not for me. I think there is a prefab that you have to do but many CF members have done it. I had 21CMC do it when they were putting in an oil cooler. I luv it!

the rigidity is not for me. The C6 is a slightly shorter throw than the C5 but is even smoother. And I like the low profile.

Exactly why i got it. Go test drive a new C6 to get the feel for it, thats what i did.. lol The throw is probably 30% less than the stock C5 unit, if i had to guess, and like he said its alot smoother and about an inch or so shorter. I got a used C6 shifter on this forum for $80 shipped, ordered an aftermarket **** for $50, and sold my old one on here for $35.
