I've got the race shifter in my 323 (it is bent), and I like it a lot. You do get a significant increase in noise, but I like listening to my synchros.

...of course, the 323 will be a track car.

Yep... Nick is right. the 45125 is bent. It just doesn't have some of the isolation that the 45126 has.

BTW... my shifter feels about the same in throw as the 45126.
