I used the shock shifter with a long hurst handle and LOVE it. it is mostly an arm rest when driving, stifts as fast as you want.

Is that a lineloc button on your pro touring car? Once a drag racer, always a drag racer....

Check out White lightning, adjustable spring rate, handle can be clocked in all kinds of different directions, short throw. Nice piece of hardware, I like it!

That sure does look like Red Roberts (McLeod) shifter, the one on the Vette TKO - wonder if they are re-branding it or copying it? I have one of Red's shifters in my 66 Nova (T56) and even though I haven't driven it yet it feels great. The 2 x 2 offset put the shifter exactly where it needed to be.

I've just been using the stock one. I actually prefer it the the pro 5.0 I had in my old T56.

only problem i encounter is the CRAZY wheel spin at about 150 mph.
you know mad max kind of power.

all kidding aside, no problems not very often you are slamming the shifter into 5th and could miss and hit "R"
plus where the button is it is between your thumb and palm.
works great.

Default Stupid question

Will any of these shifters work in the stock console? (I'm new to Camaros).
