I've got the B&M Ripper in mine. It requires a little more effort to shift, but I like the way it feels. I also had one in my Cobra before I got the Vette.

I have the B&M Ripper and love it. I tried the MGW and it was fine, but liked the B&M better.

The MGW is the latest and newest "forum craze".

C6 Z51, not Z06, shifter. Its only 1/2" taller than the Z06 and ten times better than the stock C5 shifter. Only reason for that one is because I got it for free.

I have had great results across the B&M application range but will give MGW a call.

Thanks for the input guys.

I've had a Hurst in mine for over 5 years (installed it about a month after I brought the car - ordered the shifter and had it at home before the car was actually built and I took museum delivery). It's worked great for me.
