I've read a few threads now about a red light that comes on when you approach or hit red line. I've held it to the floor through a few gears in my auto(mucho times) and haven't noticed a light. Is it only on manuals?

 

My whole freakin' tach goes red. :-)

 

Nada on mine that I've noticed. Shifts about 65-68.

 

Put it in 1st and leave it (even on the auto)... I was a little "spirited" in my shifting and found out the whole tach lit red... and the rev limiter reminded me it was all out of power in that gear. LOL!

 

I'll try that.....thanks

 

Make sure it's dark outside. For effect.

 

Yes...I need to impress Eva

 

Not sure, but on my friends V6 base model it does not do that. Or at least that he knows of, but on my Premium V6 it does.

 

On the base model, the engine just blows.

I AM KIDDING!

 

Doesn't blow, just smokes real bad until the Plugs foul all the way out

 

I'm sure on the auto if you just leave it in drive and floor it the tranny will shift before it would ever turn the rev limit light on.

So, yes, you would have to manually hold it in low gear.

Tell us how that works out, if it actually will hold first gear and not shift out before it gets to redline.

 

Why the heck would you need a shift light in an auto? That's like having a barrel of salt water in the atlantic.

 

Makes sense to me

 

Mine hits it in first an second gear with the automatic when I get on it.

 

It's not a shift light is it?

Thought it's a redline warning.

 

Well, yeah, but doesn't it become a shift light at that point? LOL!

 

Mines an auto 5.0 Anyone with auto GTs getting a red tack before a shift?

 

Here is a video of what we're talking about.

Edit: This one is much better even though it is a 2010.

 

Nice, James! That's exactly it.

 

Well, it rained so I'll check it out tomorrow. I also have recently come down with Po Po paranoia It takes some of the fun away
