Got a Hurst billet shifter in my 2001 and a Calloway shifter in my C6 Z06. The Hurst is a tighter, ratchet style shifter where the Calloway is tighter but more smoother. Depends on how you use the car and what you want. I track road race the 2001 so like the Hurst. I road trip the Z06 and like the smoother Calloway shifting.

Much better than the stocker. I have drove a c5 with a short shifter and I couldnt see myself driving like that everyday since the gears were unbelievably close. The c6 shifter feels just right. But of course it all comes down to personal preference.
