Every time I start my car and the gauges do that, I always think about the person on here who took a picture of the speedo at the 180 mark or something like that. LOL.. I don't even remember who did that but when I start my car, I think of that. Maybe I'll think of this thread now LOL

I found the gauge sweep thing annoying and switched it off.

i like that feature to. but it won't be as fun to look at when they stick on wide open!!

I too found it annoying and switched it off. It serves no purpose. I also programmed my alarm so as not to beep the horn when I locked the car. I don't want to annoy others like they annoy me when I'm walking through a parking lot and all the soccer moms are beeping their minivan horns. Some of these features are just plain annoying.

Your a bad person, im sure you have some kind of disorder.

steveg78 · 07-22-2010, 12:26 AM

Do aftermarket gauges do it too? For instance, boost (if you have a SC).

Every sportbike I've ever had has done the sweep thing when you turn on they key on. Except for the bikes that had LCD segments in a bar as the tach "needle".

Obviously your first Z. Yep, neat feature. (BTW, you can turn if off from doing this.) It's been around for many years.

All I read was the header, but the answer is yes.

Does it make me a bad person if I never even notice this in my own Z?
