The HUD is a cool gadget. Especially at night. I have never been a fan of Digital Gauges. It does not make a difference to me to look down at the analog gauges anyway.. I could take it or leave it. It was there when I bought the car. It does inpress people who have never seen a Heads Up Display before..

Patrick, I use mine with tach and MPH only most of the time. Im surprised you said yours doesnt adjust enough for you. I am 6ft tall and I have plenty of adjustability up and down.
HUD is just another cool little feature the vette comes with. I think its cool.

Love the HUD
Guys, when you get older and the dash starts to look fuzzy the HUD is sharp as can be. I never look at the gauges. I use Speed, RPM and Gas. It also lets me know when 5750rpm comes up (SHIFT)!!! I love seeing triple figures.

I have the speed, tach, and fuel displayed and I keep it just above the hood in my field of vision. You don't want it high on the windshield. It's probably not necessary, but whenever I turn it off, I always turn it back on within 5 minutes. It just keeps me more aware of my speed. No tix in 20k miles.

Speed and tach.
Got my first HUD back in 1992 ('92 Bonneville SSE). Won't own another car without it.
