I have the Premium package and have to say that the leather steering wheel is sooooo much nicer that anything else Ive ever had. I'm sure you can find them alittle cheaper than the other one and it will definitely be worth the money.

i've actually been looking all over for new leather steering wheels... i think i'm going to expand my search to salvaged titles. usually the steering wheel survives wrecks... hopefully.

That MGW shifter sounded expensive at $400 but after watching the video it seems really well made and really well thought out, I am almost surprised it only costs $400 considering all the parts and engineering that went into it.

I don't really care about my steering wheel so much but having a better shifter would be worth $400 to me. The one thing that has really bothered me was getting out of reverse, I think my boot is getting caught in the reverse lock out mechanism. Damn that MGW is sounding like a nice upgrade. I must shift gears dozens of time per day, seems like a no brainer upgrade.

Get the shifter first!! I feel that I would upgrade my steering wheel when I have money to burn and don't know what performance or exterior upgrade to do. A short throw feels great and it is plenty of fun going through the gears.

I for one couldn't live with a cheap rubber steering wheel. That's what connects you to the car. The shifter really isn't a terrible unit compared to most. I would get the new steering wheel first.

this guy seems to have issues shifting with the hurst, while the MGW treats him well. anyone else able to verify this? i really don't know anything about MGW's brand, so is it better than Hurst?

and Shane, i took a look for MGW on americanmuscle.com but didn't see it, do you guys not carry it? i'd much rather order from you guys since you've treated me well in the past!
Hey if you want a steering wheel i have a gt500 one for 260 shipped
