Any zl1 owners have the MGW shifter?

just bought zl1 manual trans and thinking of putting a MGW shifter in. I know the shifters had improved since the 2010 Camaro I had with manual trans. I had a hurst shifter at first in my 2010 but later went with the MGW and loved it. What has been your guys experience changing it in the zl1 to the MGW shifter. thanks

Yep and love it. Has a better spring rate and I like how the flat stick is angled back a bit.

Loved the MGW shifter, but went back to Stock for faster shifts and NLS on track/street.

MGW Very notchy on WOT 7K rpm shifts compared to factory shifter. Loved the MGW Flat stick, but missed a lot shifts at the track with it. Maybe it was the Driver
