I have HUD so I pay attention to that more.

Always use the HUD. DIC for other info.

vegassam66 · 02-10-2015, 06:20 PM

Not really, mostly use the HUD

mikebaby · 02-10-2015, 06:41 PM

I like to watch my tire pressure change while I drive, cold morning its at 34ish, ten minutes later its at 38! The sun on the drivers side? that side gets +1PSI.

Good way to know when its safe to hammer on it too.

The analog speedo in my '10 is impossible to read. Never mind the fact that out of the ten big numbers, only four of them are legal, and one of them is zero! Consequently, I always use the DIC...

When I had my 1lt I always had it set on MPH on the DIC, now that I have the HUD I cannot envision me ever being without it again, I really don't know how I drove around without it before. Now technically I have 4 speedometers counting the one on my Garmin navigator, now how redundant is that?
My wife always ribs me about all the bells and whistles this car has, she says "why do you need all the gauges? Do you EVEN know know what each one does?" (This is coming from a person who drives a Jeep Wrangler with roll up windows via a crank) She says my car is way too smooth, low to the ground, and way too busy with all the gadgets. But she can't bag on me for much longer, since she is a Realtor, she is going to need something more civilized than her Jeep, so she is starting to eyeball a Range Rover Evoque that in comparison to my car has about three times as many gadgets bells and whistles...

HUD for speed and tach - DIC for tire pressures or various other pressures/temperatures

KR4545 · 02-10-2015, 10:24 PM

I'm just glad the TPMS system isn't called the "Tire Information Terminal" That would be too many jokes in one gauge cluster.

Tell your wife to get something nice like a LaCrosse.
That's a real estate car.

Are u talking about a Buick?.......lol.....never......

It's interesting, I never look at the speedo in my STi but with the close ratio 6spd it's like the car always to accelerate, go fast etc. The Camaro is so much more of a cruising car, and with the hud being right there in my face, I'm always content to just drive the limit and enjoy the ride...
