Feels like a race car, not a soft luxury car. I have yet to miss shift with the Pro 5.0, it has to be damn near impossible. With the Pro 5.0 you can swap out the shifter like to Lou's short stick, cut around an inch off and there you have the perfect shifter. But with the Ripper you are stuck with the long *** shifter that comes with it...

At the time I got my shifter I went with the cheapest thing I could find, and I've never been happier. SLP shifter, TNA short stick. Topped with a B&M t-handle. The shifter and stick ran me like $125 shipped, but I don't think tna sells the two together anymore there on ebay. This was almost 4 years back now, so of course the other choices are cheaper now, but I remember when they were almost $200 for a Hurst.
Damn the stock shifter is junk, I remember missing the 2-3 shift when I test drove the car I bought, not even trying to shift it fast or anything! The first time I went to get on the car I made such a *** of myself.
