Does anyone else want the new speedo/tach cluster from the ZL1? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

That being all said has any one replaced the needles on their car?

JSC81 · 05-24-2011, 02:50 PM

Could have at least compared it to the SS Odometer.

I wouldnt replace it. Not like you can see the damn thing through the steering wheel most of the time anyways.

The needles in the ZL1 are better, but the font is stupid.

When I test drove a few Camaros it was difficult to read where the needles were are a glance. Making them spin faster when the car starts would be cooler too. Think Lexus IS.

I never look @ the analog Speedo, Thank you GM for my heads-up Display!

Damn, what car is that, that only goes to 160? That a Hyandaiota or sumtin'?

LOL, j/k, threw me for a loop for a bit, mine goes to 180.

Looks like the ZL1 is easier to read, but I would rather have the SS font in my V6.

Zl1 looks good, but the red line should be a red line, not orange.
Personally I would rather the whole thing be one big LCD and let people change the speedos how they see fit.
I never look at the actual gauges anyway.

Someone needs to put some gas in that ZL1!

Thank jebus for the HUD. I'm only 5'10" and even I can't see the top 1/3 of the speedo (the only part you're ever in really).

I'll take just the speedo thanks

.. I just think it's cool that it goes to 200 vs 180 on the SS Speedo.

Not me, I don't even look at the gauges. I use the HUD.

HumanWiki · 05-25-2011, 09:56 AM

Nope.. I like my gauges just fine.. They're not too boring and not too flashy. They flow with the rest of the interior.
