UPR's Blue Thunder shifter VS. Steeda's Tri-ax

95GTS · 11-17-2003, 08:09 PM

Anyone have the UPR Blue Thunder shifter? I've heard it's basically the same thing as the Tri-Ax. Anyone actually know anything about the UPR shifter?

The Tri-ax Owns all!!!!!!!!!

But the UPR is pretty good too

Basically same design but the UPR one has a little more play in it, Go with the Tri-Ax!

I dunno about UPR, man, the more I see their stuff, the more reluctant I am to buy it. They look cheap and sometimes ricey. For example, look at their CAI kits compared to MAC's-- pay attention to the air filters.

Anyway, I haven't felt UPR's shifter, but I have a Tri-Ax on my GT and it's awesome, everybody who's ever sat in my car and felt the shifter (if they hadn't b4) comments on how awesome it feels. I love it.

I feel same way Fox, I'd rather see my money go to Steeda than UPR. UPR seems to like to rip off other designs, (not intended to start flame war!!) I think Steeda is just a more quality company. I have purchased several items from them and they're all top notch quality. ~Brian
