Whats the difference in the Gauges???

TheStig · 12-26-2008, 04:59 PM

Look at these pics.

The first picture, the gauges have smaller hash marks around the outside, it looks alot more detailed

The 2nd picture has no small hash marks....

Whats up???

nogoodname · 12-26-2008, 05:03 PM

interesting...lol

notice how the metric one doesnt show the MPH at all...lol

Crash · 12-26-2008, 05:04 PM

Possibly sports package vs. Base?

Also, this could be just the difference between different progress levels in their designing the car in the first place.

nogoodname · 12-26-2008, 05:05 PM

it could just be the Japanese model and the American model

Crash · 12-26-2008, 05:06 PM

Right-o... Damn Japs always gotta be different.

nogoodname · 12-26-2008, 05:07 PM

^^ HEY, without them...we're nothing

Crash · 12-26-2008, 05:08 PM

Not true... Without them, we're driving corvettes.

nogoodname · 12-26-2008, 05:09 PM

^^ nope, not even...we're driving corvettes for half a year and the other half in the shop for repairs

SPete · 12-26-2008, 05:10 PM

those Japanese and their speedlimits?

nogoodname · 12-26-2008, 05:24 PM

so back to the gauges.....maybe American safety laws call for the little dashes while the Jap's don't

Crash · 12-26-2008, 05:26 PM

Wow... I had no clue about that. That's a shame because the Jap version looks a lot cleaner.

I wonder why we need to know our RPMs in 100th's. I could care less about that... I just need to know where the 500 and 1000 RPM marks are.

nogoodname · 12-26-2008, 05:28 PM

Japs like the whole modern Zen theme, simple and elegant design

Crash · 12-26-2008, 05:28 PM

Well, I'm with them on that.

No complaints on my half about the vette....got an 05 C6 and love it...but hey...beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol

Crash · 12-26-2008, 05:42 PM

Whoa... Don't get me wrong, the C6 is a BEAUTIFULLY sculpted car. But lets face it, it's a little worse than hit-n-miss with GM when it comes to reliability.

However, GM always lacks in the interior department... Rolling windows down in the Solstice makes you feel a bit retarded since the switches are by your elbows in an already tight cabin. Corvettes get a slightly better interior because of the name, but nothing impressive to me.
