RE: Short throw shifter choice?
Hurst. Tried the others and I LOVE the notchy feel of the Hurst. The steeda didn't seem much shorter than stock to me, just that the shifter was pulled back from the dash a little bit and that the shifter when in 2nd, 4th, or Reverse the shifter seemed to be even closer to the back of the shift boot. Hurst is short, looks great, performs amazing, and also it sits in the middle of the shift boot and shifting...area of the console (lol i didn't know what to exactly call that area haha)

If you plan to drag race, the Hurst will not be user friendly with power shifts

Forget those, go with the Roush, Its 55% shorter throw and you can use your factory handle if you want or any of the roush shifter handles they make.

My car isused forbracket drag racing withvery limited street use (10-15 miles in a week maybe). The Hurst in the pic came with the 4r70w transmission. I don't know if there is a similar Hurst model for stock transmissions, but this one is in a 3 speedforward shift pattern and you can't miss a gear.

Everyday I think about that 4R70W swap the more I want to do it.
