Default Shifter ****
What do you all think?? A Cobra R shifter **** on a C5. Had to drill it out and tap it, but it's plastic so no problem there. I love it!!!

It’s different. As long as you like it on your car, who are we to say otherwise. I never really minded the stock C5 shifter, and I think others have added a C6 shift **** on the car. First time I can recall a Mustang shift **** being used on a Vette.

Does a stock C6 fit without any modification on a C5?

Don't understand. The C5 **** is threaded on; the C6 **** is not - it's held on with a setscrew. It will not fit without modification.

Yes - after some more reseach that was my conclusion - so much for the "tech support" at Corvette Mods LOL

How big is the Cobra ****? It looks quite big in the photos, but that may be a bit of camera distortion.
