Short Throw Shifter?

Just curious if anyone makes a STS for our cars. If so, does anyone have one installed on their car and please give your opinion on it. Thanks

Ive seen them somewhere for the older cable operated shifter, but not for the new ones in the '05 and up.

if i understand correctly, the c7 package included the short throw shifter. however, in 2001 (my car's year), there was no option to buy the package, so mine is not a short throw shifter. this is why i am searching for one.
