ZR1 vs. Viper ACR

I'd guess so too.  I know in the RX8 you can actually unbolt the shifted and pour the tranny oil through the opening to do an oil change... when I put my short shifter on i looked down and was like "wow, look at the pretty gears!"

The shifter in my Mustang would move every time I got on the gas.  I thought it was kinda cool.

It's probably direct mounted to the transmission to simplify the linkage- so when the engine twists on its mount, everything else does too.

Yeah.  Stiffer shifter bushings, and engine and tranny mounts will cause the shifter to move like that more too.

When I dropped in my short throw shifter and swapped out the linkage bushings, I get that movement a lot more now too.
