Default ARC/Voodoo shift ****

Hey Guys, I am debating which shift **** to get. I mean, there is a HUGE price difference between the two. The ARC comes in titanium which is tite, but goes for $100 while the ARC goes for about $35. If anyone has either, please respond with with some comments.

-Anyone know how many inches in diameter the ARC and the voodoo NOT in magnum size is?

-If I was to choose the Voodoo, should I go with the regular small size or the magnum. I know the magnum is 2 inches in diameter, I am hoping this isnt too big.

Here are pics of both *****:

Voodoo:



Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it!!!

I can't see why people like these "ball" shift *****. I think they totally kill the 'sports car' feel and look to it. Just my opinion though.

I don't understand this comment. The only thing you might consider "more" sports car would be paddle shifters.

VooDoo on my Z...


It's the regular size and fits nicely in the palm(about as big as a racquetball ball). Plus, its cheaper so you can go buy other stuff w/ the money.

I've got the Voodoo in pearl clearcoat. It looks good, feels good and shifts good. I live in Miami and don't have a problem with it getting too hot. The 2" diameter is perfect for me, it shortens the shift throw and provides a more tactile feel during the shift than the stock ****. The price is right and the fit is very good.
