Just got back from a little cruise.. So far I really like it, takes a bit to get use to and I feel I will like more in time like good wine.:lolsmile:

I have never felt the C6Z shifter. I have the Hurst. I use the heaviest spring they have. I like the tight feel. Not many people like how stiff it is but I am abit of a meat head so it suits me. Keep us updated on how you like it as you get more use to it.

I have not seen the rsd snap shifter? What is the difference?

This is on my list of things to do. How did you go about solving the issue of the c5 boot not fitting the shifter?

Not all mens shifters are created equal. So we need to compare and take notes as to who's is best. :lolsmile:

Ok That sounded really creepy.

I shortened my Hurst about 1.5", so it's probably even stiffer than yours is. :hat:

03SlowZ06 11-21-2010 7:20pm

Very nice.

Munch 11-21-2010 8:15pm

I got the A4 so my wife could play with it too.:leaving:

See thats no fun. You need to teach your girl what to do with your shifter.

on mine i just used the stock boot its a little tight right at the base of the knob other than that its pretty much just a swap out.

Looks great :) I had a hurst for 3 years in my old Z06 before moving to the C6Z unit. It's a good drag racing shifter because the 2-3 shift is automatic, but it gets really old for daily driving and the stiff centering force isn't what you want on a road course. When you're trying to make that 4-5 shift at 140+ the last thing you want is the shifter trying to pull itself back center and make you hit 3rd... that's bad.... very bad!
