I have noticed that my speed display on the HUD is 1 to 2 miles per hour below the speed displayed on my speedometer and my speedometer matches the speed when I set my cruise control. Therefore when my HUD displays 75 miles per hour my speedometer and cruise control will be at 77 miles per hour. The dealership told me that they checked with GM and nothing can be done.

Now that you mention it; I notice a slight difference in the RPM's.

I should have mentioned that I also show a difference in the RPM's

Oui

How convenient is the HUD, is it worth the $$$.
I’ve been driving cars all my life without this option, though most cars don’t offer this.

Is it useful and worth the extra $$$ ?

It's been mentioned before. Minor inconvenience. Nothing you can do about it.

I love the hud for me it is worth the money and yes one or the other is wrong by 2 mph. anyone get their speed checked by courtesy of the state care to comment which is correct

I think HUD is one of the coolest and best options on a Corvette, I think every car should have it.

It's readings might be a little off from the dash, but it is fantastic. I'm really glad I got it.

Yes...IMO it is worth the extra $$$.

Everyone has their own criteria for deciding which feature is worth the money but it's a proven fact that a HUD provides real-world benefits. Sure, I could make-do without it (so could a fighter jet pilot) but why wouldn't I want the benefits afforded by this technology?

It took me a short while to break the habit of taking my eyes off the road to look at the gauges but once learned, the HUD is extremely useful and beneficial.

Using cruise control, my speedometer shows 1-2 mph higher than the HUD display.

My HUD matches the speed of those radar bulletin boards the cops set up around here. Trouble is they're mostly in 25 to 35mph zones. Haven't checked it against the GPS yet.
For me it's definitely worth it. I can't seem to see the speed I want on the speedometer without twisting my head.

psssttt.... the turn signal lights don't match either.. time to get rid of the car..

No brainer for me. I truly believe that the HUD should be mandated on every car. Your eyes never need to leave the road and, for those of us with NAV, your turns come up right where you need them, not looking down and away at the NAV screen.

I love HUD! I remember reading somewhere that the hud is more accurate than the needle, though it would be nice if they matched.

su8pack1

I like it although I still find myself looking at the speedometer most of the time.

C-INRED

Yes. Every time I get in my other car now I look for it. It's very convenient...especially in the Vette to keep track of your speed.

This only works when your HUD is in Street Mode. If you're viewing either of the Track Mode displays, it's not gonna work that way.

I normally use Street mode anyway. I love the HUD. At first it was hard to not look at my analogue gauges, but now when I'm not in my c6 I look for it on the road of other people's cars..im like wait...I have to look down again.

great feature and worth the extra $$$. I think the HUD is the more accurate of the two displays when it comes to Mph readings. Mine is alo 1mph or so off from analogue read out.

The HUD is digital the dash is analog. So if the dash says 60 mph that could really be 59.99mph. The HUD will show 59 but the dash is not that accurate so it looks like 60. If you are really off more than one mph, though, it could be something else wrong.

FWIW I'll never have another car that doesn't have at least speed on a HUD. Whenever I drive my wife's Suburban I glance at the (missing) HUD every couple miles! The real difference is you don't have to change your focus as much for the HUD as you do for the dash.

UTVOL06

yeah I think its the 59.99 difference I see as well HUD will read 59 when analog looks 60, but really is 59.98 or something.

It is easy to underestimate the value of the HUD, but once you have seen the speed limit sign and your speed simultaneously, you are hooked.

Have fun.
