Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.

Seems like the consensus is that Hurst sucks (I wasn't considering it, but thanks for the extra info sn95gt19... Pro 5.0 is one of the best, but the handle is a bit too short. Tri-Ax is starting to win me over Pro 5.0 seems more suitable for a street/strip car and I'm going for a more street car (I already got a strip/street car). I want totally comfortable driving (I have long legs and the seat is usually almost all the way back on the rails) with shorter throws. This car will probably see the track 2 or 3 times per year if not less.

squid, thanks for commenting on the Tri-Ax.

JUst let me make sure.. DOes the Tri-Ax shorten the throws b/t gears? That's really all I want with smooth, solid shifting, and the complimentary 3rd gear handicap helps smooth over the deal also.
