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.

How do you look at the odometer to tell how fast you were going?!

2010SSRS · 06-04-2009, 10:25 AM

ya know, i really don't even pay attention to that. i go by what gear i'm in and rpm.......

but when i do glance at it, it the DIC because my left arm blocks the speedo gauge.

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

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.

I'll let ya guys know

During my test drive...I never once looked at the speedo or messed with the radio lol
