does anyone else think this is ridiculous? even more so for the redline. i was on the fence about getting one, but i want my tach right in front of me, not off to the side. i know i can get a monster tach, but screw it.

it's funny how saturn says they did it to allow easy viewability or some crap like that. the real reason is to make it cheaper to build left and right hand cars.

I do like the cnter mounted gauges. I hate the center mounted Tach. Oh and yes you can go to a aftermarket tach, most racers do anyway.

i dunno... i guess i'd need to sit in one first. i think off to the side is just as out of the way to look as down at the steering wheel. and if it's angled towards the driver.

It's wierd but could take some time to get use to.

i know it's off-thread. but did anyone notice that people were posting like a few times a day and now it's a few days in between posts?

until there is new info, there's nothing to post about... it's not like this is a social club....

besides the stage two upgrade for the srt-4 is due out any day now...

i just saw on saturnfans that there's an update to the ion for 2005. perhaps the center console will get changed? also there's a cool link to the new saturn roadster.

Actually, it's not that bad. It does take time to get used to.

Also, as far as I know IONs are not being shipped overseas, so making it cheaper to build left and right hand cars is no reason.

 

[rjp]

if i recall properly, it's angled towards the driver side anyway. not too sure about that.

 

[banjo]

it is pointing towards the driver. The few times I've driven my sisters quad coupe was a little weird but not too bad, bet it wouldn't take but a week to have that be normal.

If the tach is going to be that bad and you don't want to get a huge tach then just get a shift light and call it a day.

Ive driven cars with center mounted guages and I personally dont like them. Although I dont see what the need is for a tach, I never use mine and I have yet to bounce of the rev limiter.
