The DIC has speed that I sometimes look at so but i use the hud most of the time. The Analog gauge is pretty much ignored by me.

Well I can't tell how fast I am going by sound. Guess I am not a skilled driver. I am just thankful each day that I didn't wreck my car.

She doesn't have a manual...

And I can guarantee you having a HUD or not, makes no difference on being a better driver. Lol. Just a nice feature to have.

I mean, fighter pilots didn't always have HUD. You think they are not as good now that they have HUD?

I never said anything about not being able to tell by sound made you a worse driver. I simply don't like to get used to technology that is not in every car I drive.

For me the only thing I need in a car is power windows and locks, I can live without A/C, radio, etc..

You said it makes you better driver all around. I guess I was wrong but I took that as an insult.

No, didn't mean that as an insult. Sorry it sounded that way.

Its Kevin's fault for starting this, too bad he didn't finish it...

Question for everyone. Has anyone taken their car to the dyno after putting on a catback or axle back exhaust? Reason why i ask is i want to make sure its worth doing. if you're only getting 5whp from a catback ill just leave the water jugs on and call it a day.
Thanx!
