Opinions: Pro 5.0 or B&M Ripper??

MattwantsSpeed · 05-24-2002, 12:06 AM

Yeah, what the subject is......Pro 5.0 or B&M Ripper?

Smokedawg · 05-24-2002, 05:36 AM

Pro 5.0!

Conman · 05-24-2002, 08:43 AM

they are both high quality pieces and will help alot banging through the gears.

my vote is for pro 5.0 though

sn95gt19 · 05-24-2002, 10:03 AM

PRO 5.0 OR LOOK INTO THE STEEDA TRI-AX

Stang_Crazy · 05-24-2002, 05:31 PM

another vote for Pro 5.0!!!

lx mike · 05-24-2002, 05:37 PM

Pro 5.0! although either one will be much better than stock.

fiveohpatrol · 05-25-2002, 12:22 AM

hey, lets everyone jump on the bandwagon!

or NOT

I have the Ripper and absolutely love it. It shifts so much smoother than any other shifter I've felt (pro 5.0, Hurst...)
and its also one of the cheapest.

so you know what my vote is for

srv1 · 05-25-2002, 12:39 AM

i have driven the PRO and the Ripper. my choice for these 2 would be the PRO. but since i dont like either of them, i go with the Hurst! i love mine! it shifts really smoooooth. but of the 2, PRO.

I have the pro 5.0 , works great. But any shifter that will stop over travel of shifter and possible damage to shift fork is a good choice.

joe4speed · 05-25-2002, 07:59 AM

I have the Ripper, and love it too! I know the Pro 5.0 is nice as well... truth is... pretty much anything beats the stocker! Good luck in your decision!

chris91LX · 05-26-2002, 03:18 AM

I've got the Pro 5.0 and it's been nice, but any of them are good choices as long as they have the positive stops. UPR has a shifter out now too I think it's called the Blue Thunder or something like that and the price is about half what the pro 5.0 or the ripper is. I think they copied one of the big names, but I'm not sure which. Looks sharp though.

sn95gt19 · 05-26-2002, 01:35 PM

i think its the steeda tri-ax that upr copied, looks kinda cheesy though.

Coupe5oh · 05-26-2002, 02:38 PM

I drove my buddies car that had a mac shifter, i liked it, but i let him drive my car, and he said he liked the ripper i have better, it has a longer throw, which i like, but still short enough to bang em.

But the mac is cheaper, and it still is a good solid shifter.
