Is the gear indicator in the middle of the tach for the 6MT.

Back when I had my 350, when I was cruising along in 6th gear (local road, around 45-50, not interstate) and accelerated, the substantial power in reserve (and even more so now on the 370), made me believe when I stepped on the gas that I was in 4th and not 6th. I would start to upshift when I was already there. Embarrassing, especially when not alone. Now, all I need to do is look at the display for confirmation that I am in the gear that I want to be in.
