Default Short Throw Shifter

Like it says, Which shifter do you guys run and which ones would you guys suggest? This is of course for a 6spd.

I would prefer which ever shifter would result in the shortest throw, I don't really care how notchy or smooth it will be.

If your a 5 speed then look real good at the MGW Shifter. tons of adjustment and a very good shifter for racing as well. Never a missed shift.

6 Speed I am still waiting to see who builds a better unit. Maybe a pro 5.0 at this point or the steeda.

I have a 6spd, I'm leaning more towards a pro 5.0

OK, question then...
Is the FRPP made by Hurst?
If so, I'll bet you it's the shortest throw...

I know all about the Hurst 5spd one, and it is the shortest throw...
I just wonder if it's the same with the 6spd if they make one.

I thought the MGW shifter was adjustable up to a 50% throw reduction, whereas the Hurst is only like 40%
