Shelby GT350 shift light indicator

The high-revving and quick performance of this car makes it worthy of a dual clutch paddle shifting transmission. Manual shifting doesn't fit its personality.

I agree. In the meantime how about rev matching?

Would do but not enough. Driving this car would feel like driving a Ferrari with some proper dual clutch gearbox.

That's what a driver is for.

Yep. Maybe the next surprise will be rev matching.

Oh boy really? We have to go there AGAIN? How many DCT cars have you driven on a race track? I've driven several including a McLaren 12C and the driver still makes the shifting decision... While you're rowing your manual clutch and gearbox I'm leaving you in the dust.

:lol:

I really could use this feature on my GT! the one time that I tracked, I never could look down since I was so busy learning and paying attention to the road. Also, the engine is so freaking smooth, I hit the fuel cutoff multiple times especially on the straightaways.

surely this is a sign that full HUD is coming to the s550. 2018 maybe?

I hope not.

HUD

This "HUD" is actually a simple modification of the LED bars present on other models with a collision warning system, it's just been modified. Sort of like a mod to the taillamp turn markers to make them sequentially blink.

"Heads-up shift light was developed by reimagining existing hardware and is standard on all-new Shelby GT350 and Shelby® GT350R"

Wow I need this! Please tell me they will make this aftermarket for the GTs

I agree on the dual-clutch, I love the manual and my current 2015 EB has one, but the DCT would be perfect for this car.

I had a DCT in my e92 M3. The technology is great, but they need to work out some kinks. The car creeps and lags when starting off. A DCT would have been nice for the DMV traffic, but I think I can deal with a manual. Nothing feels better than a perfectly timed downshift, right?

It fits my personality, and soon my garage, just perfectly.

Cool, but tell me what the @#$@#$# car weights and the performance numbers. We can order one and lay down $$ for one. So give us the info we really care about. Oh yeah, give us a dual clutch too.
