...Now I'm wondering if the rear sway bar would be a better value than the shifter.

Any thoughts on that?
Definitely go with the rear sway bar. I had my DC dealer install a Mopar Stabilizer Bar before I took delivery of my GT but there are some good after-market ones you might want to consider. To me at least, I consider it a safety factor and wouldn't own a Cruiser without one--recommend. [8]

I've had my Hurst in my GT for some time now and I really think it was money well spent. When I get a little tired, or my attention wanders I missed the 2-3 shift regulr. Changed to a Hurst and I've got to be almost asleep before I miis.

The added advantage of the Hurst is that you can change the stick! I've got a 71 real "Pistol Grip" hooked up in my GT and it feels great.

Try not to "choose" which improvement you make to your car solely on the words of others. Develop your vision of what you want your car to be, look,do,set yourself a plan,and enjoy yourself. Most of the fun in the car hobby is discovery and self accomplishment.

Remember, no matter what you do there is always somebody out there that is faster, stronger or prettier than you (or your car) is.

And I'm using a Genuine JC Whitney 8-ball knob. Which feels so Right.

You also might want to add this little piece of dress-up:

I think it adds a nice '60s' touch.

I love my MOMO. Page 2 on my web site. Feels soo.. much better than the stock ball shifter. (that was gone in the first couple of weeks) The Carbon Fiber does not take on any temperature what so ever, and I live in the desert. It fits the hand very nicely.
