There is a slap racing transmission for the C5.. It takes a 6 speed and makes it like a rally car with the sequential. Total cost is about 20-25k for the tranny, clutch, and install. LG motorsports makes it.

Once in anything but "D", one does not need to push any button to go up or down from 1-2-3-2-1.

I did have a slap-shifter in an old Plymouth Roadrunner back in the day and it was nice being able to click up and not worry about going past a gear, plus the T-Handle was nice too.

Someone posted a thread not long ago that HURST/B&M RACING was doing the R&D for a new automatic C5 shifter.

Sounds like a great way to fry your auto trans even faster.
If you want to shift, buy a car with a manual trans instead of a poser toy shifter.
