Digital gauges look cool...when sitting still. When driving, your mind has to do a lot of extra work converting those digits into meaningful information about how the car is operating. That's very easy for analog gauges to do.
I will be very interested to know how the digital gauges are working for you, once you've had some time to operate the car with them.

Personally I prefer a number , I never liked looking at the oil gauge and having to "see" what it was pointing at and doing a mental summation of what I am seeing.

GM's basic strategy was to have most gauges point UP when all is normal, too. That worked for water temp, oil pressure, and ammeter/voltmeter. Fuel gauge needle could easily tell you how much fuel you had left.
And, as you stated, even with a racing car, that's all you really need to know...."are all systems GO?"
But, different strokes for different folks. If digitals work for the OP, so be it.

I wouldn't have stated it that way but ,I used black carbon fiber around my speedo and tach bezel and it looks pretty good. Sometimes things look better in person than in a picture.adding color to something is always iffy.
