Well i got my hurst shifter for my T5 about a week ago, and i installed it on saturday. I am quite pleased with the difference betweeen the stock shifter. The main reason i wanted a hurst is because at school there is this 96 Camaro SS with a t56 thats a shop car that has a hurst competition racing shifter and its real short and nice. Mines not quite as short but has the same feel so im satisfied.
