What the HUD?
Never noticed it ....heck I go by sound and visual RPM, but do we have a shift light on our HUDS? Says so in the manual...guess I will go take the car for a run but has anyone seen it?? 
Straight from the manual:
The HUD
consists of the following information:
. Speedometer
. Turn Signal Indicators
. High-Beam Indicator Symbol
. Tachometer
. Manual Paddle Shift Gear
Indicator (If Equipped)
These displays on the HUD are
for use when using the manual
paddle shift controls to shift the
transmission. See “Manual
Paddle Shift” in Automatic
Transmission on page 9‑27.
. Shift Light
This light is used for
performance driving to
indicate that the vehicle's best
performance level has been
reached to shift the transmission
into the next higher gear.
An arrow pointing up will light
up on the display just prior to
reaching the engine fuel cut-off
mode. This cut-off is about
6,500 rpm for the LS3 engine,
6,600 rpm for the LS9 & ZR1
engines, and 7,000 rpm for the
LS7 engine.

I've noticed it. I forget which screen I keep up but a little arrow pops up right around red line. I'm not sure if all the HUD screens have it. I get it when I'm playing around and actually look at the rpm and not going off of noise.

Never cared or thought about needing one....just was reading the manual regarding a different topic and came across the shift light in the HUD. Then I searched and found this on another thread....Now I have to have it...(see what reading the manual does....makes you spend money $$ )

I've noticed it. My HUD is always in track mode (hockey stick RPM, Mode 2?) so I'm not sure if the street mode has it.
It's a small up arrow on the right hand side when it comes up.

It comes up in street mode as well. I noticed it flick as I shifted during a run. It's not really in a position you'd be looking during a race, but it's cool when you're "testing"

I think I remember seeing this on my HUD, but I just have my Dashlogic set up to sound a chime @ 6k RPM so I don't hit the limiter when I am getting on it.
