What some of the manual transmission guys are putting in is called a short shifter. Basically all this is in a C6 Corvette is a shorter shift lever. It increases shifting effort by reducing leverage, but it also shortens the distance the lever has to move to change gears. This allows a quicker shift too.
The 2008s are coming out with a new manual transmission, and a different shifter. Word is, it is better from the factory than anything currently available from the aftermarket. So hold onto your money until you drive a 2008.
