He makes a good point, just going about it in the wrong way. It would be cool, but I wouldn't call it poor quality...Been watching too much Top Gear

Know what I'd like to see??? GM accessories make a digital horn and voice module of Ernie from Sesame Street saying..."HEEEEEEEEERRE HEMI HEMI HEMI!" I'd buy iit!

this car is not electronically limited is it?

pinkcamaro10 · 09-22-2008, 04:06 PM

ya know what i just realized? i dont think ive ever had a car where the speedometer has went 20 40 60 80 and so on, ive always had 10 20 30 40 50 and so on..... i wonder if that will be hard to get used to.... either way, looking forward to it.

The red rings just kill it! In the best way possible. GM has definitly hit out of the ball park. Theres always going to be things to complain about with every car, as long as they get 90% perfect thats amazing, and i think GM Just hit 99% perfect, would say 150% for me, Thanks GM

Will every SS Camaro have those gauges the same way? Or are those gauges RS package only?

Yeah and I usually use Miles per hour not KM/H. I don't know if anyone else noticed that.

i love the red accent package

Mr Twisty · 09-22-2008, 06:17 PM

The controls (light, radio, temp, etc. had blue piping lighting but you can't see it in the pics. Had to be there to see it. Very nice.

Is this blue pipe lighting the ambient lights that runs along the entire dash and door panels??

I had an Elantra with 20 40 60...but it was a much larger speedo with clearly marked detentes. Being a smaller gauge, it's going to need an easy-to-read typeface, and the font used in the SS isn't as easy to read as it could be and the marks aren't going to be as easy to pick up. It's difficult enough with the standard gauge, but the SS gauge smushes too much together.

Like the C5, GTO, and C6 before it, the gauges are electronically controlled and you can switch the speedo between kph and mph. I used to do it on my GTO to mess with my friends, after my friend did it in his FRC to mess with me.

Please tell me that the hideous font used on the SS gauges at Indy aren't production. Those are downright ugly. The first pics of the V6 gauges look good.

It's all opinionated...but I 'like the ss guages. Does anybody know if the center display shows how many miles is on the car? If so theres no need for a HUD display imo
