, i will soon have a $359 shifter for $199 for my new 2012 1ss/rs LS3 i've ordered from Anna at sparta chevrolet
kind of funny actually, b/c i made a big deal out of ordering a LS3 with the factory installed hurst shifter....only to find out that the factory installed hurst shifter is only like a 25% shorter throw compared to this one which is like 40% less
thats what this site is supposed to be all about, all of us helping each other out, cudo's to ctk1
