Could live without it. Gimmick. I always use the analog gauges, easier to read quickly. Plus in the summer sun, the HUD can be difficult to see sometimes.

The HUD tach function is to hard to see, ok for MPH readout.

HUD for speed readouts is very useful IMO.

Ever since I purchased my first C5 in May of 97 I have felt the gauges are almost non readable. Even my track videos taken inside the car show they are almost always in the shadow. I display oil temp on the DIC, oil pressure on the HUD and don't pay all that much attention to coolant temp. It takes a finite time for your eyes to adjust from looking at things a long way down the track to focusing them on something about two ft from your face. As you get older the time it takes to refocus going either way gets longer. There is no such thing as a quick glance at the gauges when they are analog, hard to decipher and in a stark shadow. With the race seats in the car I sit low enough that I pretty much look through the HUD like a fighter pilot does. Display isn't quite in focus but close enough to be readable. Would be nice if they made the HUD the same way they made an aircraft HUD so you have to focus at infinity to read it. That would make for a lot better drivers.

remember--a bunch of here are old and we have presbyopia (it means we can't see s---t up close without our readers). looking down the road and having to refocus on the dash takes a split second-- that is one split second that might save your life if something real bad happens. I think HUD is the bomb and should be required on all cars....

:iagree: Additionally I found the HUD tach very useful on my 13 M6 getting back into driving stick after many years of auto. Quickly learned where the proper rev matching points were. :thumbs:

I thought I couldn't live without HUD before buying my C6. Now I realize I hardly ever look at it, and if I do it's only to look at the GForce which isn't available on the dash otherwise.

i like the HUD but.... that g gauge is going to kill me one day.

Love the HUD, won't own another Corvette without it.

GM, if you are listening, start offering it on other new cars.

I wouldn't buy the car without a HUD. Especially a car that encourages speeding. I have this crazy idea that keeping my eyes on the road is a good thing, especially in a race or on a crowded Interstate in the rain. Quaint, I know.

Switch to lite beer ................ :rofl::D

Luv the HUD. Had it first in my 2000 Pontiac Bonnie SSEi and have always had a car with HUD since then...quick, basic info without taking your eyes off the road.

I wish my car had it. My gf has a GTP and her HUD is MPH only. I love it! Especially since I have grown comfortable with driving with my steering hand at the top of the wheel...it blocks my view of the speedometer a lot. The HUD is always visible.

The HUD is not something that will move me to an 2LT...if it can be added later on a c7 1LT that will be the route ill take...if not..not a big loss...

I did the same on my c6 and its worth the $600 I paid to have it installed but that's about it.

:iagree: works for me too. I miss it when I am driving my other cars. I have move my head down and up and refocus rather then just refocus..

$57,795 is my target price ...z51 MRC and NPP.....maybe 59,795 if I'm digging the competition seats..

HUD can wait.

I tend to pay cash unless interest rates stay at historically low rates...

It's free money

It comes automatically/included with the 2LT and up this year. Only a price factor with 1LT.

I for one believe the HUD should be standard equipment for all cars. It is an outstanding piece of safety hardware...:yesnod:

I like the HUD, and given improvements to it, it should be even more useful.

I like it. Yes you can live without it, but why would you want to?

:iagree:
