Bob,
We've been talkin alot lately. If I go up against your car and lose, I'll be very upset. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif Anyways, I personally feel that the Megashifter is the best all around street/strip ratchet shifter that is on the market today. The one in my chevelle has a nice tight, crisp feel when I shift. I have abused that shifter and it has never failed me and I have yet to miss a gear with it. It also is the one reason why my girlfriend will not drive my car. She hates it, Too Confusing. Ya gotta love it.

I have one too and I love the thing. My friend with a Hurst shifter "played" with mine for 20 minutes and decided he was going to get one too. The shifts are real easy and everything on the shifter is intuitive (the reverse lockout sits right at the first knuckle of your fingers and the nitrous button is in the perfect place for your thumb). I'd highly recommend one! Oh, and whether you shift the tranny yourself or let it shift itself (if you have a manual/auto tranny), it works wonderfully.--Amanda

Diddo with Skunkynuggets...get this shifter in your Chevelle! I have really enjoyed this shifter, especially with the N2O button on the T-handle (has to be ordered seperate). Installation is a snap and the looks are great. Have fun!
