Hurst Automatic Shifter Anyone?

[tribone]

All I can say is wow. I really like the fit and finish on this thing. Both the shifter and the plate are billet. I will take more pictures later but here are a few that I grabbed yesterday.

The color of the LED's on the console match the ABL. Nicely done guys!!

WOW! How much was it? it looks great!

[JDP Sales]

That is one hot piece. We will be carrying these once they are released!

[thespymaster]

WOW....... Changes the whole cockpit viewing of the C5...................... How much are they selling for?

[JDP Sales]

We don't have a cost or release date yet. But once we do we will let you all know.

Sincerely,

Rick

Where did you get it from?

[tarheel34]

How do you already have one?!? I've been dying to get my hands on one of these and could hardly even get a teaser pic!

Rick - When do you expect these to be released?

P.S. Phastek is doing a "Pre-Order" on these in the market section.

You know the saying, "it's not what you know, but who you know" and obviously he knows the right people

that is flat nice.

This was a test-fit of the final (or near final) prototype in tribone's car. We needed to make sure that all the components will fit nicely and no more changes in spec or instructions are needed. As it currently stands, the pieces are ready for production, but we will need to revise the installation process slightly AND order a different part to put the whole kit together. For those of you involved in manufacturing, you probably know that this final process typically takes more than 8 weeks from this point on. Originally we wanted to get everything done in time for the holiday shopping season, but the trigger stick design took longer than expected.

As of right now, the plate and the stick will be sold separately. MSRP has not been determined yet, but we're hoping to keep the whole kit at around the same price as the manual shifter...The automatic kit is more complicated to machine but we are doing what we can to keep the prices reasonable. There will also be options to purchase the plate and stick separately (of course, that will cost more than buying them together for various reasons) if you like only the console plate, or if you like only the stick. For those of you that want to keep the stock stick, or already have a favorite stick in mind, the plate will be a nice stand-alone upgrade for your automatic console. As soon as we have a set pricing for the part numbers, I will make that public either through our distributors here or through an announcement on the Hurst website.

Do keep in mind, the upper handle of the stick is removable. Our engineers are working on a solution to add 2-3 buttons on the handle to enable a few "interesting" options like a line-lock or nitrous...Or maybe another option that automatic Camaro drivers will be clamouring for. In addition to that, popular options like T-handles and our chromed stick and knob combination will be available shortly as well.

I took a couple of shots of the end result of the installation as well. See attached.

Sounds awesome! Can't wait!

I hope the other feature you mentioned is tap shift on the shifter!
