Just to add my $0.02, I concur that ANY shifter is better than the stock one! I had to put the stock one back in for a week (long story) and I forgot how much it's like rowing a boat. Every shift with the Hurst is a joy, every shift with the stocker makes me appreciate the Hurst.
I've used both the Ripper (previous vette) and Hurst (current vette), and liked them both. I prefer the Hurst because I have had alot less rattle with it, but YMMV.
Don't forget you can try shortening the stock one. Alot of people swear by it.

The Hurst kicks booty. I went with it after reading many, many reviews of Hurst, Kirban and Ripper. There were a few people who had tried all three and eventually stayed with the Hurst.

I've had my ripper in for two years, haven't had much effort problems.
I do remember when I first installed it the car felt like a race car, tight shifts, precise.
I also don't have any comparison to give you, but a high recomendation on the ripper, still lovin it........ :yesnod:
