Default C6 Z06 shifter?

I noticed these are being offered for sale. Any idea what if any difference there will be in this and the stock C6 shifter? I did a search and found nothing.

Shorter throw - as much as 35% less.

More solid feel.

It would be nice to know if the Z06 shifter gets rid of the 2nd-3rd "hangup".

Default The Real Deal

Post about 2-3 mos ago. Guy put in a Hurst and changed it out for a Calloway. I talked to the designer at Carlisle. They spent beaucoup bucks on the design improvement. Now here's a finance guy (me) talking to a Mech Eng. Didn't understand half of what he said, but I was sold.
