That's my personal red line setting, the first of two red lights on the gauge. The last light I'll set to the factory specification, whatever that is.
The Shift-i allows you to program the range of the seven lights on the unit and the RPM spacing between them. It also allows for a variety of modes including incremental (left to right increasing number of lights), and other popular shift light patterns. You can also buy different light configurations. This unit is curved and should overlay the puny tach on the Magoo without obscuring any other information as most of the Magoo is empty, wasted space, anyway.
The real problem with the Magoo is the potential sales damage that might occur when it is panned by the major auto magazines as a ridiculous, dysfunctional design. The Elio philosophy is to use existing parts to minimize design and tooling costs in a modern, logical design. This dash is the opposite. Money and energy had to be spent on its development, it does a poor job as a dashboard, its an accident waiting to happen as you have to read moving gauges, a spinning tach field in a tiny window is useless, and it violates most best-practices for modern dashboards. Other than that, its great....
