worth the $, i would say YES. I don't have one yet but i drove my friends the other day and the throw is faster. It's all driver in the 1/4 and on the road though man. You can feel the difference and it is just that, SHORTER THROW. IMO def. worth the $...

Worth the money? Yes
Lower 1/4 times? No

It just makes the car a lot more fun to drive. Look for a used Hurst from a 98+ SS or WS6 and get a short stick from Lou's or ebay. I love mine!

Agreed i had a t-5 in my old 88 tbird 5.0 and it was alot more fun with a short throw. If you wanna know how much faster you will go, think about how long itll take you to move the shifter a couple inch's each shift. .1-.2 mayybeee. Much funner to drive though!
