Im getting my C-230 (brilliant silver/manual: C1, C5, and C7 Package) in about 2 weeks. Had to special order. Anyway, wanted to know if anyone can feel the difference with the new short throw shifter for the '03 model compared to the '02 models.
Welcome to the board and congratulations on your purchase. The C7 cars have always had a short throw shifter. It was not mentioned in the 2002 literature, but it was there. 2002 and 2003 shifters are the same.
