Importance of the 4 pack gauges?

I will be using the camaro as my daily driver. How essential are the 4-pack gauges?

I have NEVER looked at these while driving.

And

I've only really noticed them at night.

Something for the passenger to look at, as they are so far away from your eye you'd probably kill yourself trying to drive at the same time.

I believe that this is the reason they got rid of the torque gauge...

Their only function for me is to remind me of the 280Z that my dad drove me around in when I was little. (/aww)

Just another factor of coolness on an already cool car to take you back to the days when you needed to keep an eye on that stuff. That's pre d.i.c. To you young pups
