Default C6 shifter vs. C6 Z06 shifter?
I'm thinking about purchasing one of these shifters but I can't find any info describing the difference between the two. I assume the C6 Z06 shifter has shorter throws than the regular C6 shifter. Why is the C6 shifter more expensive?

Thank you,

Mike G.

I have the C6 shifter. I have sat in the Z06 and tried that shifter. I think they are the exact same. Call Gene at Fred Beans and find out if they are the same.

That's weird. For some reason the regular C6 shifter is more expensive than the C6 Z06 shifter.

Did Gene confirm that they are two different shifters?

I called Gene. He says the Z06 is angled a bit differently, is more comfortable, and has a bit of a shorter throw.

So basically, for a few bucks less than the regular C6 shifter you can get a better shifter? Sounds good!
