Default Installed B&M Ripper...Awesome!

first off, I gotta say those were the best set of directions I've ever seen for a Mod...ever little step was detailed. Jet Hot definately needs to take a lesson from these guys in how to write some install directions.

The shifter itself kicks serious butt! Not worried about ever missing 3rd again...It's about 1 inch shorter than my stock Hurst and just feels awesome! Great shifter...

You don't realize how bad the OEM shifters (Hurst included) are in these cars until you get a REAL one in there...

I'll agree with you on that one. I too went the way of taking my factory Hurst out in favor of the B&M, and I couldn't be happier. It has a much more solid feel to it, and with my billet shift **** from Thunder Racing, it is a very solid piece.
