ive read somewhere that c's doesnt make the shifter shorter but makes the throw shorter and it almost as smooth as stock whereas B&M is shorter, shorter throw and notchy.

C's is a true short throw shifter, which is what you want anyways. Eff all those posers who cut the shift rod down. That doesn't do **** except make you look dumb.
I have a C's short throw shifter in my FC. Its great. Makes the stock shifter seem like you're rowing a boat. You also don't have that passenger's-leg-in-the-way-in-5th-gear problem anymore.
But, as physics goes, the trade off is that it takes more muscle to shift gears. It has a really nice diagram on the back as to how it works. Basically it moves the pivot point for the shifter. Which is how it should be done, instead of cutting off the shifter/making the rod shorter.

That never happened, and will never happen. The short shifter that I created is something I designed from scratch. The design has changed a few times but I'm still no happy with it. Currently on version 4. It will get done when it gets done.

Long shifters are good for race cars (so long as they're very short throw)... not so good when you need to mess with the radio and the A/C.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Miata shifter yet...

I don't think so... the N/A and turbo shifters are identical IIRC.
You just have to modify the Miata shifter a bit to make it fit. (I haven't done it yet personally)
