Well put! I agree to with your to each his own outlook... I have had 4 Mustangs and the last 3 were all over 400hp rattling, louder than hell, etc and I loved it then, but I hate to say it... maybe Im getting a little to old for all that so I have went more with the cosmetic mods on this Stang, with a few performance add ons and so far this has been my favorite Stang of the 4. However when I see and hear a "510rwhp of rattling, notchyness and loudness, and it's daily driven" it puts a huge smile on my face!!!

 

Hurst need to put better hardware in their kit, that's all.
They'd get rid of a lot of unhappy customers with better bolts and washers.
It's a cheap business move, if you ask me...

I have been very successful with all the Hurst shifters I installed, including my car.
Of course, all of them were put together with my "in house hardware"

I will say that the T5 tranny of the sixxer is not fond of smoothness and it vibrates despite shifter issues...

 

haha crazy how diff people are, this is perfect example.

I hated my steeda tri axe, wich is the same as the pro 5.0 and got the hurst. The pro 5.0 is def stronger and unbreakable and feels like its bullett proof but I hated the centering spring it it and it really isnt a STS IMO its just more of a power shifter cause it barely made the shifts any shorter then the original shifter It felt the same as stock to me just stronger but the hurst is like u barely have to move it. exactly what I was looking for

 

If I wanted to race someone, I would use my other car.

 

ha yeah ok z06 wins
but tomb with the triax is the shift handle adjustable??
with my pro 5.0 there is 4 positions, high forward, low forward, high back, and low back (my choice) yes on the high position it isnt really a short shifter. low its shorter but not as much maybe about the same as the hurst. but i cut the threads on the **** and got it 3/4 of an inch shorter with full thread engagement and could probably go another 1/4 inch with full threads. so making mine definatly shorter then the hurst.
now its not a girl shifter as fifth takes some effort and reverse can be a biatch.
but you cant miss third and you always find the next gear... faster then the hurst.. period

 

ok 1-4 is faster... faster then hurst and mgw 4-5 hurst and mgw wins
neutral to reverse mgw wins, hurst second, pro 5.0 dead last..
but whens the last time you "powershifted reverse or 5th?

 

dude. I love that freakin z06. Don't get me wrong, I love my car and all but my buddy bought one of those about a month ago and beat me by about 3 car lengths from a 40 roll....STOCK. I was so impressed, it's my dream to get one.

 

I am 45 yrs old and I've owned 47 cars. Lots of these were very nice and very fast. However, I have never been in such as radically fast car as my Z06. I would describe it as dangerously fast. 505 HP in a car this light is insane. Here's a fun fact for ya. The paint on my front fenders weighs more than the fenders themselves (carbon fiber). When you bring the rpm up to about 4k and step on the gas it's like someone stepped on a lions toes. All hell breaks loose, the 13 inch wide rear tires break loose and start spinning wildly, the car starts sliding sideways and you quickly become pinned in your seat like an amusement park ride. The Z06 demands respect or you will die in it!

 

the pro 5.0 is exact same as the steeda and I had it on the lowest and I also had my threads cut with a differnt handle on it and its not close to the hurst. the steeda rep even came into a thread not to long ago and said yeah its not as short as the hurst but it is a lil bit shorter then stock, he said about 20%. I was saying that its the same as stock so he corrected me....

 

lol one reason why I am parting with my stang in the near future for a c6 Z06, your over 500 rwhp and he walked you like nothing stock, few mods for him and it would have been emberassing. 700 + to be able to compete IMO and even then good luck and hope they are all stock.

p.s paydirt your car is pretty sweet in ya sig, you got any vids?
