Slightly bumpy shifting?

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
It doesn't matter what characteristic you bring up, the C7 shifter is inferior to that of the Viper in every single way possible, even though the Viper makes far more torque everywhere in the curve, which counters your earlier argument. It's notchy, the throws are far too long, it has a rubbery feel, and it's sometimes tricky to find the right gear (just like my C6 Z06 shifter was). What you are talking about is a function of low-end torque and clutch engagement, which the C7 does quite well. However, many people in this thread are talking specifically about 'shift feel' and 'shift engagment'. I love the C7, but the shifter is horrible.
The Viper's is better, the 996 and 997 Porsche's are better, and the GT500's is better.
I can nail gears in pretty much anything (see vid), but this shifter sucks.

Maybe ya all have $200,000-$500,000 to purchase A car with.
So maybe if that's the case maybe the shifter is better.For the amount of money that I paid for the C7,I think it's the best ya can buy for the money.
