Hurst Short Shifter
Like it says above... if you have one do you like it? and was it worth the money? Looking to get one next week, any info would be awesome!
I have had B&M Short Shifters in the past in my other cars...

Wait another 2 weeks for the MGW shifter to come out....I guarantee you it will be the best shifter on the market. Myself and another member on here are currently testing the prototypes....I can't go into much detail on pricing, but you will be a very happy camper with what you get for a very competitive amount of money

that said the 08 and the new t-6060 doesn't need one,
The short travel and ease of the stock one are already way nicer
than the t-56 with any shifter.Save your money if you have an 08! I 've had 4 t-56's all with hursts!

Up until now, MGW has only made shifters for Mustangs and Vipers....But the C5+C6 shifter is in production phase and will be available before Christmas. I am lucky enough to be testing one for them
Let me tell you this shifter is absolutely awesome. No rattle what-so-ever, short precise shift action, interchangable ***** and shafts, top of the line quality, etc. Blowns the competition away...even Calaway IMO. I can't comment on price, but you will not be disappointed

(Nothing on the site about the C5 or C6, but there will be soon)

Love my Callaway too! Callaway=Corvette, but I do have the Hurst retro-**** which cured the cold ball issue.

I had a Hurst on my C5, I liked the shifter and it has probably been improved over the 6 years since I got mine. That said, I am satisfied with the stock shifter on my 06.
Update. I am still satisfied with my OEM, but I drove a friends C6 this morning with a Callaway shifter. That thing rocks! He did say that it has some buzz at WOT - which I did not do

The shifter is about 100 times better than the stock shifter when it comes to speed shifting. You'll never miss that 2nd to 3rd shift again.
There IS a downside to this shifter, at least on my car. It will rattle like hell in 3rd gear above 4500 RPM.

I have the Hurst on my '08 and it impresses me. The shifts are much shorter and more positive, possibly could be called "notchy". I have not heard any noise or rattle from this shifter at all.

good! It's already pretty short.
The 97-07 needs the hurst, Be nice to try one!
