Nope. Doesn't look like it should be in a stang.

Amazing how they could offer so much more and this comes out the day after SEMA ends?

I have the new ****. Can't install it until I get the Metric shift handle (which is coming this week). Wait until I install it and post pics before passing judgment.

No offense, but doubt your pix are going to change how the overall design looks.......

I don't like it either.

Bill pics are not going to change my mind trust me.

MGW makes a great shifter and is quality through and through but they missed the goal posts on this one sorry to say.

Sorry George, we all might be wrong and sales may prove us wrong but me thinks your sales (lack there of) will validate our thoughts on the new shift handle.

I really like the mock ups Rich came up with awhile ago. I think there were 4 total, anyone of those I like better then the new concept shift handle.

Oh well, I like what I have with the MGW and the Hurst Black 8-Ball.

Mines on and love it.
The feel is great and matches the interior perfect.
Got mine in chrome.
Great work MGW

I have heard that their shifter was great and it probably is and i'm considering getting it but man if they can put something out that looks like that.
