Identify this shifter
This weekend we opened up my buddies center console to see what shifter is in his newly acquired c5 z06, I believe it's a B&M, he'd like to go with a C6 shifter or an MGW. So we'd like to know this is truly a B&M so we can advertise it for sale accordingly. On to the pics...

Looks like a b&m ripper shifter. Save the little plastic cup on the end. Can't be bought last I knew.

Not sure what it is, but it is not a Ripper unless it is an older model. Handle is too long, and should be black. I have rippers in both my C5's, and they are still available, we just put one in my son's Z16 a couple weeks ago. This is what a Ripper looks like.

The black isolator was added later but I blew it up and look at the handle. It doesn't look like a b& m. They sold something similar on ebay several years back and that's what the end kinda looks like.

Could be an earlier model of the B&M?

I couldn't find a stamp or any kind of manufacturer number.
