🚩 MGW did not sponsor this video, the product is just that good. The installation wasn't too difficult, most of the time is spent removing the center console. It's clear almost immediately after opening the box that the MGW shifter is extremely high quality and insanely well built. That all makes for a shifter that puts the stock one to shame in any manual transmission car. You can buy the MGW shifter for yourself here: bit.ly/2w0qTxJ

Sebring postponed til Nov. On one hand it saves Corvette racing, as one more uncompetitive performance would've been the end of the team IMO. OTOH it kills all racing. GM ending all production "temporarily" will be the final nail in the coffin for the company, especially with Godzilla unemployment downgrading GMAC loan "assets" all to hell. The C8 will be the last and rarest Corvette in history. I believe only 442 were made.

MGW doesn't sell the boots for their flat stick. The factory boot is modifiable, but takes a little bit of time. Hope you're enjoying the shifter.
