Default HUD Shift Light?

I was reading through the info stickied above and noticed that it said manual transmission cars with the HUD also have a shift light. My 02Z does not have a shift light that I can see. Is the info wrong or maybe the Z's didn't get that option or it was available after 2002?

My 2002 Z, just under the 5500 rpm (approximately) mark on the HUD will light up a little word that says SHIFT when I get close to red line. I've only put about 300 miles on the car since I bought it last month but that's what I recall. Here's a picture I found online that shows what I'm talking about.

I guess I need to wind it up a bit higher before I seen the light? I don't think I've had it over 5k yet so that makes sense.

I see this "Shift" word/light on my 01 coupe with HUD too...not quite as alerting as a true shift light though....

If you have a six speed tranny, there should be a light that displays the word SHIFT when you approach redline. Both my '99 and '00 had it.
