Does this make me a bad person?

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

up+down+gas+brake = hp boost

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.

So close your eyes.

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?

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.

CBRich · 07-22-2010, 08:14 PM

Does the 2004.5 Z do this too? Because if so, it probably does it way better.
