I tried the Hurst billet shifter in my C5 Z06, but switched to the retro-look shifter built by Core Shifters... It has chrome Hurst stick, Hurst internals in a custom base to fit Corvette, and is a good compromise between short throw and ease to still get into overdrive and reverse gears.

Here is the shifter in my C5, which will also fit the C7.

I put a Hurst into my wife's 2001 Z06. I didn't care for it, and she had to use two hands to get it into reverse, so we sold it on eBay. Having progressed from C5 to C6 to C7, I really can't imagine why you would want to screw around with the 7-speed in the Stingray - feels pretty tight to me....

I will definitely drive the C7 with the stock shifter for awhile to see how it feels, but the main reason for changing to the retro-Hurst stick is just because I like the way it looks.

I guess both of us "assumed" it was a link to your C5 setup and didn't look at it. Sorry.

I put a Hurst in all my cars since 1993. They improved a lot with the billet.
No comparison to the stock piece. If you want to shift quickly.
With Supercharged power which I like you need the quick shift.
The reason you screw around because the loose stock unit
with the long throw sucks.

I tried the hurst in my c5 and hated it, not sure what its like in the c7.. I ended up taking my stocker and shortening it and that was perfect. like butter, just shorter. Just chopped an inch or so off and welded it back together. tip: Keep a cool wet rag over the bushing to keep it from melting.
