HUD ?
OK HERE IS A STUPID ONE!! HAVE A 2003 WITH THE HUD OF COURSE AND I CAN SEE IT HAS A SHIFT LIGHT ON IT. WHEN DOES IT LIGHT?? I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER THE MANUAL AND NO LUCK. DO NOT REALLY WANT TO RED LINE TO FIND OUT IF THATS WHEN. SAVE THE WAVE AND GO FAST. :auto:

Re: HUD ? (MILESTONE#001)
I read 6200 rpm somewhere but I'll go for 6300 if that's the consensus. And don't worry about redline. That's what the rev limited is for :lol: If you never hit the rev limiter, you are either one hell of a driver or you don't drive that beast hard enough :D

Re: HUD ? (MILESTONE#001)
Your next challenge will be to actually spot it when it's illuminated....not the brighest thing in the world...as other threads on this topic will attest. In fact, not once have I ever noticed it....night or day.

Re: HUD ? (smwalsh)
I've got an '02 Z and have hit the limiter a few times. It sneaks up on you fast!
I haven't ever seen a shift light. Is it on the '02s or just the 03's? If on '02s, where is it - up at the top right of the tach graph?
Thanks.

If you wait until the light comes on for the 1-2 shift, most likely you will hit the limiter (I've learned to time it at the strip), but if you shift right as it comes on for the 2-3 and pause briefly before shifting when it comes on for the 3-4, you will be shifting right at redline everytime. Takes some practice and I'm still not great at it :smash: .
