I had a mgw in an 02 camaro I tracked hard. Wasn't impressed for $175. Bought a C6 for $65 for the 04 Z06 and felt it was a much better upgrade for me, and a fair amount cheaper.

I had the MGW in my Z-Z16. I had it for sale, bought a C7Z06 and when I was going to swap them a solid buyer appeared. The MGW was getting better and better with time.

MGW if you like a notchier feel. If you prefer more like the factory feel with a shorter throw than go with the C6 Z06.

I had a Breathless short throw and went back to the stock C5 shifter. Personally I like it. I may go aftermarket later, but for now there is no compelling reason to do so.

Be careful. Most everybody here who has changed out their factory shifter has been disappointed, and switched again.

Or, they post later that 1st or reverse doesn't work, or some variation.

MGW! I've never miss a shift on the track with the MGW. It doesn't get any better than that.
