Wow that is a crazy looking shifter. The extra money above the old tir-axes (What is the plurl of Tri-Ax?) must be for the aluminum beam thingy.

It comes with a B&M short-throw. I wonder if you'll even need an aftermarket shifter.

My thoughts exactly. I see no reason to replace the factory shifter.

You're right. IMO, I don't think it needs one. Throws and shifter are quite short already.

Personally I love the stock shifter. No need to stretch to catch 3rd.

How about throwing $400 at a muffler system so you can get chrome tips? People want to brag about their mods, not about how their mods actually made the car a better car....

The pooer in the 05 is remote mounted, it no longer connects directly to the internal rail mechanism in the tremec tranny

While I agree that the shifter in the 05 is in a much better location than the previous models, I do not like the spongy feeling of the 05 factory shifter. I work for Mr. Gasket , the owner of Hurst Shifters, so I will get a chance to try the upcoming Hurst unit soon. It has a 50% reduction in throw compared to the stock shifter.

Wow, will there be any throw left or will the shifter work like my old Nintendo direction pad (rock back and forth with your thumb)? LOL.

I think for most, this shifter has a great throw. Quite short and precise.

From what I have been told the Hurst shifter will have about 2 inces of total throw. The first prototype was in the Red Roush mustang at SEMA. Supposedly, Jack Roush personally drove the car and loved the shifter.

Isn't your car going to Flowmaster for a mock up? Different exhaust will sound better and give you more HP, in some cases. Not sure exactly what that shifter will really do.

THe throw from 2nd to 3rd does seem a little long for me. My main beef is the ability to comfortably rest my hand on the shifter when driving, in 1st, 3rd and 5th, it is not that comfortable to me anyway. A shifter may provide just that fdor me.
