I'm curious, when people floor the pedel in their S2000's do you watch the tach or the road, or something else? I tend to watch the tach even though I am comfortable with the sound of the engine.

I am not sure what I look at, a combination of both.

I need a shift light since I want to focus on the road, perhaps we can get a get a group buy or something on a good shift light indicator??

I look at the road almost all of the time because I knowwhen it is time to shift based upon the noise.

I keep my eye on the road for the most part. When the rev limiter activates, the tach flashes, so I know when to shift.

I probably watch the tach a little more than the road. Just want to make sure I shift at the right time.

I would like to have a visor mounted shift light. Flip the visor down and there it is. Hidden and you won't look ricey with a 20" tach and a Maglite on the dash.

I think I'm looking at the tach half the time, a shift light would be great if it was small.

I usually watch things become tiny in my rearview.
