Re: hud display? (ROCK54)
From the article on the Corvette Museum's website:
Optional dual-mode head-up display
A menu-selectable head-up display is projected onto the windshield in front of the driver with vehicle speed and other information. The display is focused so that it aligns with the driver’s line of sight on the road ahead, allowing the driver to focus on driving while still being able to monitor vehicle speed and other critical vehicle information.
There are two settings for the HUD: Street and Track; and each setting is preprogrammed to display information that is relevant for each respective – and very different – situation. In Street mode, the driver can select between several configurations that feature the speedometer and the turn signal indicators, and then add to it other information such as audio system data, automatic transmission gear position, and high-beam indicator. In Track mode, there is a larger tachometer, a speedometer, engine condition gauges, and a real-time lateral accelerometer that samples and displays the maximum “g-force” experienced during a turn. The HUD uses LCD pixels to construct the alphanumeric characters and graphics, allowing the HUD to change size and shape.

Re: hud display? (ROCK54)
I've heard the HUD display would have had LED diodes to display your VIN number and PIN numbers for ATM machines, but only if your SAT test scores are high enough; however, they just don't have enough RAM memory.

Just saw a pic of it on the Webcast from detriot... it looks bigger than the current display, showing most of the same info.. they also said it would calculate g forces in turns.. awesome!! :smash:

I forsee a few C6's running into trees when someone is watching the "G-Force" display and not the road. Wish I had one to play with. :seeya

Re: hud display? (ROCK54)
A larger "shift" light to use while drag racing would be nice. Like many Corvette owners, I'm in my mid 40s and the eyes aren't as good as they once were. I just watch the tach, but it would be nice to just watch the track and use the "shift" light. :auto:

Re: hud display? (GDP)
how did you capture that?
ALT+PrintScreen to capture active window, then pasted into paintshop pro.
:skep: You don't need to hold Alt. :skep:

I guess the HUD isn't in color as had been talked about last year.

Re: hud display? (H82BFST)
Does the HUD also use OLED's or traditional LED setup. From that screen shot, it looks like it's not a fixed matrix.
