Re: 1989 Corvette (84zz4vette)
:cheers: 89 has the "old dash", which actually looks like it belongs in a sports car(if you remove the breadbox IMHO), as opposed to the "new dash" which belongs in a 4 door Celica (IMHO) :D

Re: 1989 Corvette (*89x2*)
Maybe dash was the wrong word......I meant new GAUGES or old?
Does the '89 have "normal" analog gauges as in the '90 or the electronic "TRON" style gauges like my '84 had??

I wasn't too happy about that at first because I'm an old time analog guy. But now I love them. They are very distinct, look great and I feel make the car stand out a bit. The 89 does have the last and latest, read that as the best all digital display of the group. Don't worry, even though the bar graph peaks at 85mph the digital display is three digits :D
The later styles using a combination of analog and digital are whats weird :crazy:

'90 has the newer "fighter jet" cockpit feel to it. Ive driven both and much prefer the newer design. :cheers:
It also has analog gauges except for the MPH which is LCD.

Re: 1989 Corvette (Daniel90conv)
Not dash related but the '89s are MAF cars, the '90s use MAP. I like the digital dash better myself, plus your passenger doesn't have that "wall" boxing them in.
