Default Can I get opinions on this...

I'm trying to save some money and didn't want to purchase the pro 5.0 w/ lss. How does this look as a substitute? Just curious if this will work just as good.

I don't have the 5.0 but I driven a car with the stick from WS6 store. It feels better than the factory stick since its shorter.

I've done the pro 5.0, and then switched to the B&M Ripper. If you are looking for a better look, that short stick will do, but for fast shifts, the Ripper!!!

the pro 5.0 is the best investment you can make for a m6. i had the b&m ripper and i think it was worse than stock. changed to the pro and never had a problem again!

I lot of people love the Pro 5.0! I think it is better for road racing and daily driving. But for hammering the gears down the straight-away, I have found the Ripper to be more consistant. It's all preference.
