B&M ripper shifter or Pro's Ripper shifter?
To those how had both explain why you like one over the the other.
I want to place an order for one tomorrow.

What's a Pro's Ripper shifter...do you mean Pro 5.0? If so, I have the Pro 5.0, and I love it!

I have driven with both and I like the Pro 5.0 better hands down.

Tried a hurst (stock on SS models) and a Pro 5.0 I love my Pro 5.0. The only thing I have done is cut of about an inch from the stick. I is almost impossible to miss a shift, and the stick feels really solid, a must have if you have an M6.

B&M Ripper here. Its great and was my very first mod. The Ripper is just as solid in every car I've driven with one, from mine to my friends' fox bodies who use the Ripper too. Awesome shifter.

Eeny meeny miney mo.....

Unless you have a way to personally try them in a car, its kind of a guessing game. Look at and read about the Hurst Billet Plus, B&M Ripper, and Pro 5.0 and then pick one. Sucks that is has to come down to that, but all three are very nice so it comes down to personal preference.
