Another Vote for the Quicksilver unit. I run it in all my cars. The rachet is self-centering meaning it always goes back to center(no matter which gear you are in), it has a reverse lockout, Seems impossible to steal as nobody but me seems to know how it works(it is easy), and I believe if I use the same shifter in every car, it might prevent me from getting confused.

I put the B&M Quicksilver in my coupe as well...seems alright so far...but the car isn't finished yet.
Q for you guys running this. When putting the shifter in 'D'...does it automatically drop down into the ratchet mode for you, or do you have to push the shifter handle down?
Mine drops down right away, but looking at the mechanism it looks like it should stay up and then require me to push it down if I want it to go into ratchet mode.
You pull it into D and it's in ratchet mode. You can't go up into park unless you are in D. Then you lift it out of the gate and move it up. I have a reverse Man valve body so I pull back on the stick to go up...you'll simply nudge it up from 1st if you want to shift manually.

It should drop down.
I ran a QuickSilver. I liked it. Now I have a B&M Pro ratchet. I like it as well.

i went with the CHEETAH SCS. one of the better decisions i have made. operates very smooth and the thing i think i like best is how the cable runs around the rear of the tans. keeps it away from all the heat and other crap that is near the front of the trans..
Best shifter I ever ran. Had them in different cars!

Another vote for the Quicksilver, here. I like the way it looks and feels, and it works great.
