In the world of performance muscle car upgrades, few names bring recognition as well as Hurst. Hurst has been used in vehicles for decades as the go-to shifter setup, even having them installed from the factory in many models too. Hurst is one of the brands nearly covered in legend because of their quality of parts used in their transmission setups. Hurst has become known for their shifter styles as well, with them being designed for ease of use in high-performance settings such as drag racing or track use in general. When it comes to performance shifters, Hurst is one of the brands that you can’t go wrong with.
Hurst got their start over 60 years ago when modifying Mopar vehicles, GM vehicles, and more. With specific models even using Hurst in their naming because of these shifter options, Hurst quickly skyrocketed in terms of reputation. Eventually becoming the OEM transmission supplier for vehicles like the classic Shelby GT500KR before expanding into just about every classic muscle car on the market. Since then, Hurst has expanded to exhausts, springs, various suspension parts, and nearly any type of customizable upgrades for the interior as well. Now, Hurst shifters hold the same prestige as ever before, keeping their reputation solid for the future too.
Here at Steeda, we have been working and racing the Mustang for over 30 years, and in that time have gotten very well acquainted with Hurst and their performance offerings. In our own vehicles, we have run Hurst products before, driving these vehicles hard on different racing terrains such as track and drag strip. We know firsthand how these performance parts work in our Mustangs and can vouch for how good these work both on and off the track for everyday use.
