Hey guys, i was just looking at a video of the 2010 stang and found something i never knew about. The stang has a shift light. The gauge faces turns red.
Watch the vid, would be cool if our tach ring turned red or something of that sort.

Wow that is sweet, I would definitely get that if it was available.

Nice feature.

Cool, but now if anyone does do that all you'll hear is, "That's a Mustang thing..."

Cars have been doing that a long time. Subarus had then in the mid 90's. I think gm expects it's car owners to know when to shift and not need a light to tell them. Lol. Makes sense mustang drivers would want that

That looked like more of a warning that you were red-lining it or over-reving. That or a self-destruct sequence-initiated warning.

Sti's had it in 04 and it was fully adjustable, so its a Subaru thing.

4th gen fbodies had them, but they were just cheesy upshift lights.

Does it come on every time you press the gas pedal? If it does, that's how you know it's the self-destruct warning.

Yeah but those were gas mileage based....

However the C5 corvette did have a performance based light but only with the Heads up display.

Ten seconds in hp tuners fixes that though.
