so then what is the difference between that and the stock one?
quicker shifting, you can't overshift, looks better

Most importantly... does it come with a B&M decal that we can stick to our window?

That was looking pretty cool right up until they said the shifter shaft is round. WHAT??? I think they really screwed up by not going with the traditional B&M flat bar shifter.

That thread has been going on for 6 months now, I guess the shifter will come out on the same day as the X-Charger

Wow! Just read Doug's post and he's even offered up a test mule. B&M is obviously interested in developing a relationship with Bamachips for a tuner program that will enhance the B&M shifter characteristics. Sounds like not only can we get an excellent tune, but with a triptronic type shifter and shift characteristics expecially tuned to the shifter ..... hmmmmm. Driving an auto will not only be lots of fun but - improved track times, anyone? Man, I hope they resolve the Ford solenoid issue soon. I want one!

UPDATE:

"Guys...quick update.. We have solved the switch problem!..Now, we need to order new prototype pieces to CONFIRM our findings and make sure all is good. we feel it will be. Also, I will likely be able to post a retail price for you guys next week or so and probably the part # as well. The product itself though will probably not be ready for shipment until around SEMA time though.of course it will be a feature product there. I will post more as I get additional information...."
