Default Used my speedometer and it was fun...

I'm probably like most people I ignore my big speedometer gage on the left side of the dash and rely on the MPH digital readout on the center display.

However this weekend I took a big trip and used my navi and had my songs playing on the center display instead of the MPH readout causing me to use the speedometer to see how fast I was going.

Well it was actually refreshing to see how fast the needle moves from 20 to 30 to 40 to 50 etc. like the old days. The C7 really moves the needle fast when you hit the gas-don't get the same visceral sensation looking at the digital readout.

I recommend trying this on occasion if you forgot about the speedometer gage.

Add in the HUD and you can see your speed in triplicate!

At triple digit speeds , you might need 3 gages!
