Question 2004 Cobra Shifter Help

My cobra is bone stock and the first thing I want to do is get a short throw shifter. This stock shifter sucks! Which is better hurst or mgw and why? Any 1 got any pics of a short throw in there car?

MGW for sure. I think they're built stronger, more adjustable and I've never had 1 problem ever. Smooth, short throws for the best control possible over your manual trans.

I love my MGW. The steeda is pretty good, my friend has one on his 02 Roush. It doesn't feel nearly as smooth as my MGW though. It is WAY better than the stock though.

Well I bought the mgw a couple days ago and installed it yesterday. Man this thing is awsome! I'm glad I took your guys advice and went with the mgw. Its so smooth and perfect. Thanks again!
