Default LS-6 trivia

How many of you were aware that the tachometers between the '70 LS-6 Chevelle and '71 LS-6 Corvette had different markings?

'70 LS-6 had yellow starting at 5700 rpms, redline at 6500 rpms.

'71 LS-6 had yellow starting at 6300 rpms, redline at 6500 rpms.

The 70-72 Z28 and L78 SS Camaros did the same thing with a long yellow line from 5600 or 5700 to the 6500 redline.

Wonder why the need for the long yellow area?
