so this 1k steering wheel gives you a wrong reading on the rpm. I bet the shift-LED will light up wrongly too since the rpm is off by 500rpm.

So while you have a huge OEM tach WITH shift indicator sitting right in front of you, why would you spend 1k to get something that'll make you shift 500rpm too late thus having a chance of blowing up the engine?

But first of all, why would the manufacturer let this product to get onto the market cos I consider this "lag" as a faulty design and could lead to a lawsuit.

Maybe a chic that knows nothing about car will get amazed by all this blinking stuff and tell other people you manage to dress the wheel like a Christmas tree...

Stupid. Not even accurate. Useless in a curve. Outrageously expensive.

Just get a HUD. You can find a good one on Amazon for <$100.
