Not exactly.  I have never seen or used a shift light, but doesn't it just
light up at the optimal point to shift to the next gear?  No, this would be
used for when I am just cruising at 45 and the IROC-Z next to me wants to
play.  I would look at the display, and it tells me that I need to hit 2nd
or 3rd or whatever, and off I go.  Make sense?
