Where To Pick Up BPP Shifter?
Where is a place that sells these? I've looked everywhere and can't find a spot where everyone is picking these up. I was originally looking for a Pro 5.0 but I guess those aren't made for the C5 and supposably the BPP throws even shorter than the Pro 5.0. I wan't the notchiest shifter.

Just so you know. The BPP shifter is great on the 1-2 shift, the 2-3 shift and the 3-4 shift but absolutely crappy on the shift from nuetral into 1, the 3-2 shift or the 4-5 shift. I hated mine even with the lightest springs installed. Went back to the stock shifter which allows me to use my fingers to toss the shifter into gear without ham fisting it in my hand and jamming it.

...that will cut into some after market shifter manufacturer profits...
I'm still happy with my oem shifter as well, just took off 3/4" to make it a little shorter and changed out the ****.

After using my BPP for a couple of years, now, I still like it alot. The 2-3 shift is my favorite - faster than any other shifter I've tried. Of course, it certainly helps that I pump iron at the gym, three days per week, and maybe when I have bad arthritis, I'll go back to the stock or C6-style shifters. For now, the shifter is much faster than the rather long rowing I did with the stock shifter, but hey, to each his own. Everyone is different.
