Breathless Shifter a Winner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I caught up with Ernie in the GM Corvette Corral at Sebring Saturday. He brought a couple of his shifters and after one look I bought one. I always have tools with me and installed it, removing my ripper.
All I can say is lookout B&M, Kirban, and Hurst there is a new man in town.
I installed it about 7 in the morning but did not leave for home until 4pm.
This shifter is smooth and vibration free with many ways to adjust it. Now that I am home I am going to play with it some more.
Anyone want to buy a used Ripper?

Wow, look really nice. Good to see alternatives to the usual, B&M etc.
How much $$? Easy install?

He was busy and I had no cash with me and he knows where to find me. :lol:
The install is the same as any other shifter.
Final adjustments for my taste.

Glad to hear your feedback. I checked out this shifter too and it looked like a great work of art. Nice to know it works as well as it looks! Did you use the wedge to angle it toward you?

Glad you like it. I see you positioned it forward is that working for you?
The price is 229.00 minus 10% for the forum discount and we do have them in stock.
Thank You

I was up for almost 30 hours when I installed it in the Corvette Corral.
I have since turned it around but for the long legged guys that have to position their seat way back that would be the way to install it so they don't have to reach as far.
Once again, you have a winner.
I can't wait to hit the strip Thursday night.

I myself like the wedge to have the shifter 5 degrees toward me.

After talking to you on Monday I put the wedge in as you can see by the photo. Thanks for the tip. :cheers:
