Can anyone please help? There are three 2011 M6 SS's at my local dealer. VIN: 2G1FT1EWXB9120524 does not list a Hurst on window sticker(no H on the knob). VIN: 2G1FS1EW0B9123354 does list the Hurst(H is on the knob $380) plus it says DEALER INSTALLED. VIN: 2G1FT1EW8B9127083 does list the Hurst (H is on the knob $380) BUT it DOES NOT say DEALER INSTALLED. Did GM start shipping this factory option with the cars to be dealer installed BEFORE they started installing them at the plant ? Anyone know for sure ? Would like to know before I buy.

Imo not bashing hurst but had it 4 2 months and it rattles and wobley looks great but looks and feels cheap! I'm going to try the mti six shooter lot btr quality and customer service!I told hurst about the rattle they said put tire stickey weights on the stick below boot!lol ahit on that I've tried everything there is to do!no fix!! But the mti has ball bearings gaurunted not to rattle at any rpm and has iso,s built in it and very sturdy looking!and very nice people to deal with! If you want retro go hurst but otherwise don't wast $!

"These are good cars and they are pretty cars with some respectable horsepower but there is NO guarantee that any car will turn classic! Too many variables to even get your motor racing over that aspect. Drive the car and enjoy it. Keep up the maintenance and retain all the documentation and you have a better resale. High mileage = low resale. Low mileage = waste of a car!!! JUST DRIVE IT!" Study the cars at the Concours shows and Barrett Jackson sales. Ive seen some very bad concours cars and some very good show and shine cars. Show cars get driven more I guess, alot not garaged. Concours cars are almost always garaged, never driven in the wet, and generally never a daily driver. Some concours cars have probably only done a 100 miles in 4 or 5 years. In regards to your shifter... If you don't have the factory documentation to show the shifter as standard equipment then that aspect is worthless either way. All of the factory cars that are worth something are 99% original, matching numbers, all documentation including build sheets and window stickers etc. right down to engine decals. It isn't a fine science and sometimes its just being in the right place and right time with some luck sprinkled in. Happy Thanksgiving. PS - The photo below is of the FACTORY installed Hurst shifter that I took at the LA Autoshow this week. I ran through the gears of a GM standard shifter and and did same with the Hurst unit. The Hurst unit is all the way. That is why I waited to order my car until after the Hurst was made available. Plus it is documented.

I'd like to know the answer to this Question as well.
Have you seen one? Do you know the technical specs? Until you do, or someone does don't assume it only fits the V8 because they tell you it does. Just because they want it to be exclusive to the V8. Both hotchkis and BMR say that their strut tower braces only fit the V8 but that's not true. There are even several V6 owners who have them on their cars. I cant see why this would ONLY fit the V8. Unless the whole assembly is replaced, and not just the shifter. I plan to get my hands on one of these and find out for certain.

I know the carriers are different, I just want to know why it was V8 only. The aftermarket shifters out currently fit both v6 and v8 despite the difference in the carriers. What I want to know is if the carrier assembly is replaced with the factory Hurst option, or just the shifter itself. If its just the shifter itself it may fit in a V6 Camaro. I installed the aftermarket Hurst on my car, and the notchy feeling is becoming less pleasing over time.

I know this is probably a no, but is there any way to get the same stick from the factory hurst shifter? I ordered a 2LT and at some point would like the short throw shifter, but I dont like the look of the aluminum rod and white ball. I know I can use the standard stick from factory on the after market hurst, but the factory hurst looks like it would feel so much better (And that hurst logo looks awesome!!)
