My dad has the hurst on his Z06 and I have a B&M on my 99 Coupe. I like the B&M better. The hurst just doesn't feel right when shifting. Just my opinion. I can get a good deal on hursts if you are interested. Shoot me an email. kaley

I've got the Hurst and I'm very happy with it. My car is a daily driver and weekend roadracer. The Hurst shifter is great for both uses. I used only 1 spring on each side, the lightest one, and set the stops where Hurst recommends to set them. Easy shifter to install. Great shifter to live with.

The ripper is nice but is pretty stiff unless you cut your springs down.

The wife and/or girlfriend may not like it if that matters in the least.
