Default Shifter Poll

I got my wheels, exhaust, sway bars, shocks, CAGS and intake finished. Now on to a shifter. I know there are several popular ones out there, but wonder which ones people like the most.

Can we get a poll started.

BPP

I have had both B&M and BPP. The BPP is smoother

Hurst, and love it. Best bang for the buck mod out there. Exit28 had some great prices, but it has been many months... I do not see them on the left? Great mod, easy to do, and you feal it every shift.

The BPP's main advantage is that it has 16 different position possibilities to accomodate anyone's physique. I really enjoy mine!

I like my B&M - I have no experience with the BPP, and I found the Hurst to be a little easier to shift.

With all due respect - most guys are gonna tell you that the one that they have is best.....me too!

The B&M is the BESTEST!!!

If my B&M ripper sucked, I would sell it and buy something else. I bought it four years ago and I still smile with every shift.

B&M told me that the name was an informal carryover from the shifters made for F bodies...they were actually labeled "Ripper" on the the box. Anyways, just like the guy said, I have a B&M and would not trade it for anything else...it feels just right!
