The HUD is the s@#$t. I'll never have another new car without it. It's really that good.

I thought this thread was about something else. THIS IS TOO MANY SPEEDO's. The Camaro is fine, the more places you can read your speed the better!

For me it's a must have. My seating position leaves the steering wheel blocking the top of both main gauges. Love the HUD.

Keep in mind the analog gauges on the 2010's and 11's are very different from the 2012's.

Found out it was more closer to 475 but still have not seen the dyno proof.

maybe..MAYBE..if they are estimating its new crank HP, it could be close but no way to prove it. At the wheels however its not gonna be anywhere near that. Closer to the 400 mark at the wheels would be believable on an LS3. Slightly lower on an L99.

IMO, it's too hard to see the speedo on the left side. If anything they should have placed it on the right side. That allows you to see the needle climbing from the left side up easily. Also the needles aren't the best since only half is illuminated. The 2012 is a much better needle although I heard that it doesn't follow the same tradition as the older Camaros.
