Anyone that wants a "torque gauge" is a true-blood ricer. You put anything, ANYTHING on that motor and the torque gauge will be off. Headers? CAI? Cam? Huffer? Juice?

C'mon. That's only for the guy that wants to spring a stiff and blow a wad all over his pocketbook. Give me real gauges and a 6 speed, please.

I think you just made my point. You just want your purple head to stiffen in your pants so you feel you've got something. Grow a set and ask for gauges that actually tell you something important. Like whether your $5000 engine is running hot. Or your alternator is charging.

Besides, isn't it rather stupid to see how much torque you're making when you're banging gears? DRIVE man. DRIVE.

HAHA my 96' Caprice has that! made me go back and check my spelling a few times....

I didnt realise until now that you spell it gauge and not gage. Americans are very good at losing "U"s in labour, favour etc so I had made a bad assumption that you had done it with gauge too. Silly me.

Toque gauge? That would be more of an idiot light. Yes, it's cold enough out to wear a toque. No, it's not cold enough out to wear a toque.





Sorry.
Obscure Canadian humor, eh?

I'm with ya on this one.

I didn't like the torque gauge because it only went up to 370... how silly is that?

[SigEpCutlass]

Love the gauges...I'll definitely be getting them!

[wolverine]

Do I see an oil gauge with actual numbers on a scale? Good God. GM better be real careful as most of the numb skulls these days panic if the gauge's needle moves off off its initial set point. Better be ready for a lot of calls to your "Tech Hot Line" GM.

There was a thread where everyone went into a freak-out frenzy about the Camaro not getting navi from the get go.
Camaro will get turn by turn, but an optional navi screen will be available later.

Thats good, I would assume around the time navigation comes the HUD will be offered also correct?

I never cared much about the torque gauge.....I wanna BOOST gauge

Ok sorry dude. I just thought it would be interesting to know how much torque you were making at any given time. I wasn't aware it was such a ridiculous idea.

I like those guages just as I liked the gauges on the 1969 Camaro. It is a desirable option.
