HUD Retrofit?
I know in the C5 it was relativley easy to retrofit the HUD. I want to get 1SA for cost, and not wanting the added options. Has anyone looked at retrofitted HUD to a 1SA car?
Dear GM:
Why can't I get a 1SA, Z51, 6Spd, 3.90 diff, and HUD? That would be the perfect track monster!

I added the HUD to my C5 and it was neat, useful, and of course there was the wow factor.
However, the C5, C6 had great looking and very useful, and easy to read gauges/cluster. Makes the HUD kind of redundant, but still neat.

If it distracts the driver you are talking a pretty simple minded driver.
