I really love the MGW - best shifter I have ever used, but the one in the 427 is not so far behind that I would want to replace it with an MGW. MGW doesn't sell a 35% shifter any longer - they are 25%.

Semper Fi!
Thanks on the Shifter info. Love my c5 hurst, hate the c6. Just feels sloppy comptared to the very positve Hurst. Just learned of MGW yesterday and thinking I'll get one as they have a means to hook up the boot to the stock **** or thread on. I do like the que ball *****.

tires may cause a chatter sound. The noise will stop as the wheels are straightened.
Thanks for the info. I called Gary at the NCM Deliver team and asked him as he seems pretty knowledgable. He asked what tires I had. When I said Michelin PS, he said it's the those tires and that the plant had just installed a multi-million dollar allignment machine so the likelyhood of having an alignment issue is small.

After seeing this in the manual, I get to thinking the front tires on this car are the same as the rear tires on a C5. NO WONDER they skid when making tight turns on such a rigid car.

Guess I'll have to bump the volume on my radio from now on. chuckle, chuckle

Now that looks sharp. I was considering tints on the windows of my NRB 427 similar to yours. It would also give me some idea on how tinted windows would look on my Blue Ray Metallic- ZL1 Convert.(same as NRB on Vette). My eyes fail me. Is that black or dark blue tint on the windows since the picture is overwhelmed with a blue cast?
