Do you look at your speedometer or the DIC

Where do you check how fast you are going?

Ha Ha, I like reading it from the DIC. It almost makes me not miss HUD that I had on my 99 GTP.

When I test drove the V6, I had no trouble looking at the speedometer. In my G35, I keep the DIC on fuel consumption. I imagine I'll do the same with my SS, but time will tell.

You glance at the DIC because your left arm blocks the speedo. Shouldn't the speedo cover the DIC?

Windshield=10" vertical

that means that the mirror is 38.75% the size of the vertical windshield...
it sure seems like the ratio could be better... just sayin....

Well, you simply time the amount of time it takes you to drive a given distance and do a little math. Personally I think the DIC is faster and easier than all that math in my head. The other option is the speedometer which is a close second.
