and you base this off of what? Have you used both shifters?
the MGW (for me and my personal experience) is great for both DD, Racing... Little to no effort, short,fast,precise shifts.... Literally slips into 3rd on its own... It's that nice!!

My MGW was of the first generation and I found navigating to the 1-2 and 5-6 gates required effort that I'd consider making DD a real chore.
Playing in the mountains uses 2-3 shifts most of the time, so it was easy enough.
Every one in a while I'd end up in 4th looking for 2nd.
Gonna try the stock unit for a while to see if I'll like that.
Who knows, a Hinson might be in my future too.

Yea the MGW is perfect for everything and very well balanced.. I've driven both and I agree with what the other guy said, except the mgw can be used for racing too, the Hinson is just shorter. But mgw feels so much better and smoother, just longer throws(but still much shorter than stock)

I have the newest MGW design w/ lower box and their gripper **** and I am SOOOOOO happy w/ it - one of, if not THE best mods for a C5 $ for $.
To put it in dumbed down terms - it basically makes the C5Z shifter feel like the best Honda shifter on steroids.
