I think these are the right gauges for the Camaro. They look so much like gen1. Nice touch. The volt meter actually does 2 things to monitor the condition of your battery and alernator. With the key in the on positions without the engine running it shows battery voltage. With the engine running it shows alternator output.

The gauges i thought, were standard on the SS, and if you dont want them, there is a cubby in their place.

I have Cobalts on my A-pillar - oil temp', water temp', and tranny temp'. Those d@mn LEDs don't dim well though, LOL. There's a reason they call it a dummy light...

I'd be a statistic

Speedy1975 · 09-10-2008, 06:14 PM

So what will 6spd manuals have in place of the tranny temp gauge? You won't need that nor will it really do anything in a manual.

*radz28* · 09-10-2008, 06:15 PM

THAT, is a great question.

There is a reason almost every vehicle has an amp gauge. You may not of run into power problems but as the car ages the gauges become more and more important.

I don't think that'd really provide any real info, kinda gimmicky really. I'd prefer a water temp or even better, FUEL PRESSURE!

I have the Cobalts also and I must agree...... You need sunglasses sometimes

TheClassicCarKid · 09-10-2008, 08:30 PM

I'd rather have a torque gauge than a tranny temp.
I'm not going to be doing a lot of towing ; )

I agree with speedy, water temp. or fuel pressure would be cooler

*radz28* · 09-10-2008, 08:40 PM

CWIweldace · 09-10-2008, 08:48 PM

I prefer the tranny temp over the torque gauge.

WE WILL FEEL THE TORQUE!!!!!!!

*KILLER74Z28* · 09-10-2008, 08:53 PM

I love them...

The thing is alot of cars aren't even getting those anymore, cobalts for example

ljustin293 · 09-10-2008, 09:05 PM

so can anyone answer the question about what gages the manual will get?

Camaro68 · 09-10-2008, 09:17 PM

If you think towing is the only way to get a tranny hot you will be very surprised what that gauge shows you.

I know the gauges are optional but i haven't seen an interior pic of the production camaro without the gauges

ucla1ove3 · 09-17-2008, 04:58 PM

Speedfreak · 10-20-2008, 08:55 PM

I like the guages. Hopefully they will be real and not glorified idiot lites
