C6 M6 has built in shift light that you can program to come on based on RPM, in the display above the steering column..

It will say "upshift now"
Factory tune has it set for 8192 rpm so you wont see it.

You need EFILive or one of the other popular tuners to program...

Raptor. Can't see the hud when you are driving hard. If you don't drive hard you don't need one

A guy on my other forum did this. He says it works but I wanted a big bright "shift stupid" light.
