While Hurst's Billet Plus and Competition Plus lines have that "In your face approach" with both bold styling and an aggressive shifter feel. B&M, usually goes after a different customer in regards to their Prescision Sport Shifters. B&M's shifter throw usually isn't as aggressive as Hurst's is. If B&M does offer a shifter, it will more than likely have less throw than the Hurst, be easier to engage, and appear stock when installed. Since owners follow different paths when modifying their rides, it's nice to know that choices are out there for everyone.
well said... ive driven cars with both hurst and B&M shifters and i prefer the B&M. I know in the cobalts the B&M included aluminum bushing and beefier parts to help give a more precise feel while the hurst was just the shifter.

unfortunately i wont make that cruise as i have plans and hope to have my car in for repairs by then...
