I've got the B&M Ripper, I like it a lot. Never tried anything else, so I don't know how the other shifters compare to each other.

Albert get the hurst from exit28motorsports.com tell them you are a corvetteforum.com member. You will get 10% off the hurst its like 160 shipped to your door. Also they are in dallas so ups ground shipping is overnight!

I bought and installed the hurst. It should have been my first mod! Its like a new car.

Heres a great link to install it with tons of pics!

How can you not trust hurst?

That name has been around as long as Camaro.

I went with the Kirban from MTI. I've had both the Hurst and the B&M in an F-Body and a Vette and like this one much better!

Just my .02

Good luck with the project!

Go with the B&M Ripper. It works great. One of my buddies have a Hurst in his and it is a piece of crap in my opinion. He has a lot of noise coming in from the cabin also because it doesn't come with a rubber boot to keep the noise out from the shifter assembly area,etc..
