I drove one with the factory installed Hurst shifter also. I agree with you, it is a great shifter. I'm waiting to see if Rydell will throw this in for me or not, if not I will pursue the aftermarket for a shifter. I would be interested in meeting up, if I don't get a shifter right away, and seeing how the stock shifter and the factory installed shifter differ.

Hey Jason,

I had factory shifter for about a month, then very first mod I did, was into the Hurst's Pro Billet Plus (but not the GM Hurst) I think the Hurst's shifter via the after market has just a hair better percentage reduction than Hurst/GM (based from my memory). LOL

But when I broke my bushings in the Hurst, I then went with the MGW shifter. Being the MGW is a full cradle system vs a improved center shaft replacement. Much tighter than the Hurst was, and the 2-3 shift also crisp.

Yeah, you are right Tim, the factory Hurst option is a 22% reduction where the aftermarket Hurst is a 44% reduction.

I have seen good things about MGW but not sure if I want to pay that much.

Happy Thanks "Camaro" -giving! I just rec'd word my Pfadt coil-over package in, and asked to bring the Camaro when I can. So Sunday I taking her to Livernois for what will bring my Camaro into the next level of handling! Plus getting my LPE 3:91 gears also getting done at same time, I can really do a burn out! LOL

I just hope the snow stays away for awhile to do test drive when its done. I've been holding off doing the "winter storage time" insurance call just for that reason.

FYI...all should check with their agent, I have State Farm, and all car toys for the winter go into "none driving coverage" since in garaged storage, and monthly rate goes to darn near nothing.

I've got USAA and insurance drops to about $60 for six months for winter storage.

lol. This winter I wanted to finish off my exhaust system and get a CNC TB and have the outside polished, but now it looks like that maybe waiting. Looking at updating out bathroom and a new tub/shower will cost about $2300 with me doing the drywall.

Congrats to OVERPAR7E for making the Camaro5 homepage with his 2013 CRT ZL1!!!

[BenningJ]

I spoke with my salesman tonight, I went ahead and ordered the Factory Hurst.

Had Santa show up early- filled the living room- now that's an exhaust.

Thanks for all the text replies. Lesson learned- don't send texts to 20 people BEFORE you open up the packages- I was texting for about an hour before I was able to get back and rip open the boxes- but it was enjoyable after a rough day.

Guess I'll keep my slim figure from doing this install.

Nice! You then will see the gains future performance mods added. Had work been not so busy, I wanted to come watch also!

I get mine re-tuned then dyno'ed again after the 3:91 gears go in. Will be interesting to see what it'll be from when motor was performanced built almost 2 years ago (Jan 31st 2011 to be exact)

At that time my best pull stock was 370.76 power with 371.87 torque and when done 6 days later with motor mods, best pull hit 628.67 power with 554.85
