Not true. B&M may offer a Camaro Shifter. Although, B&M does own Hurst, there are still competing products within the lines. The two companies have different philosophies when it comes to parts, so it's not like they are taking customers from each other. They each have two different customer bases. 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 reduction 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.
