I was reading somewere and there saying that there will be a 12 evo x no changes except that they will be adding a shift light n the gsr model and something like a blue light on the dash for the mr model so when your crusining to show that your saving gas ?

 

wondering this also

 

im surprised it would take them this long to finally do the shift light... thats standard on many sports cars these days. back in 06 my 350z had one O.o

 

The shift light is a cool idea. It'd be cool if you can turn on/off a beeping noise so you feel like a racer when you're DD'ing. LOL.

lol i know the 07' sti had the beep w/ flashing light. not sure if it still does

 

An "ECO" light for an EVO? What a joke~ Unless the light itself can do magic and acutally save few pennies of gas for u lol.

 

hahaha instead of 16mpg your getting 17 mpg.

 

Yep, it was on my '08 as well. You could set it to whatever RPM you wanted.

 

Yeah that would be cool my old 04 had one too. A beep would be nice so you can keep you eyes in the road.

 

I just don't understand what the big deal is about a shift light? Sounds very ricers to me for a DD. I can just imagine a civic driving next to me with a little light blinking on their dash. You can't just feel when to shift?

 

what a waste, no one needs a shift light!

 

I'd trade the shift light for a strong and smooth shifting performance-geared 6spd manual.

 

defenittly dont want no bright yellow light poping in front of my face every time i have to shift, i hope you could shut it off at least.

 

IMO: beep is better than shift light. do you really pay attention to the light during the acceleration ?

 

Beeps are annoying... shift lights are cool... but you should be able to choose what rpm it lights up at... and be able to turn it off too.

Better if it's integrated subtly into the instrument cluster... and not just some tacky big light stuck somewhere on the dash.
