Which shifter and why??? (Megashifter vs. Quarterstick)

[Marc_G]

Hey everyone, I am looking into a shifter for my built c4. The car is a 67 mustang, its going to be a dragster but also capable of being driven on the street. So I cant decide which shifter I want, the B&M Megashifter or the Hurst Pistol grip/quarter stick. I havent used either, only from what my peers and friends have told me and its pretty much a split decision! The car is completely gutted, so it doesnt matter what size it is or if it fits anywhere, because there is pretty much nuthin in the car. I am looking for something that is easy to shift but also comfortuable on the street. And if either one has a better chance of not missing a shift. I dont know if my expectations are unreasonable but I am looking for any input on either of the shifters, good or bad. Thanks very much!!!

both shifters are good ones to choose. personally for the street though i prefer the megashifter. it has both ratcheting and gate actions, and looks cool. the quarterstick has been around since the 60's, and is also a popular shifter, but it is geared more for dragracing only, than the street. the megashifter is better overall.

I love my Mega Shifter C4 setup, just dont forget that there's no 4th and over rev the crap out of it when you hit neuatral I've done it once
