Default Got a minute??

Can someone maybe take a look at this video of this zo6 (actually not bad the salesman does get on it a little). I was wondering if anyone knows what type of short shifter that is in the car. Thanks!

Looks like the MGW **** so I assume it is the MGW shifter. No guarantee but that would be my guess.

Cut the guy some slack. That's actually a pretty good way to try and sell a Z06. That guy knows how to drive, his up and downshifts were very smooth and IMO he wasn't beating on the car hard at all, just demonstrating what a mildly modded Z06 is all about. Good quality video and you can even hear the "Borla Drone" when he's driving around. Only thing I don't like about the whole deal are the all black wheels.

These cars are built to be driven not looked at. It wasn't like he was hitting the rev limiter and doing donuts with it.
