Default shifter questions

I'm thinking about installing the c6 zo6 shifter into my 00 C5

How good is this shifter and how does it compare to the other aftermarket shifters like the B&M and the hurst??

Shortest, fastest shifters: Hurst, BPP, B&M

Quiet with low vibration feedback and medium-length travel: C6, Z06, shortened C5 shifters

Quiet with low vibration feedback and super-long length travel: Stock C5 shifter

If you can, try em out before you buy!

If you'll do a search you'll find that this question has been asked over and over again.
I installed the C6Z06 shifter after I have had a Hurst installed previously on a '02; and I personally chose the C6 shifter because I like the feel better than the Hurst, but that's my opinion.
You'll get quicker results if you do a search as opposed to waiting on responses from members on this subject.

If precise, positive shifts are your goal, it's a no brainier. Get the Hurst.

if you like smooth seamless feeling shifts go with the c6 shifter; however if you are like me and you like tight, short, notchy shifts the hurst is the way to go...i love my hurst

I've got the new B&M precision shifter, model number 45044 I think. I really like this shifter, short shifts and no vibrations.
