Default ZR1 - Track Mode - Screen Info / Possible for Z06?

Guys.

I am quite impressed by the fact the new ZR1 and possibly 2019 C7's now show the actual temps for each parameter in the Track mode. It is very clear. Anyway we can get this done for cars?

I believe this was asked of Tadge, and his answer was no. Too many other factors to be able to update. Would be nice though because the track screen is pretty much pointless without actual numbers on temps.

That's a shame and I couldn't agree more on the existing track screen. It's sad we have to use Tour if we want a clear listing of the actual temp numbers. My workaround is to use Track on the HUD, which at least gives me the shift lights on the windshield.

My 2019 Z06 has this screen. Too bad it can’t be added to prior years

They added that display on all 2018's even the very early ones built in June 2017.

I don’t get why this cannot be a reflash or software update. This info is very useful for some of us track rats.

LOL. Just trying to rub it in.

Maybe if you track the car! To me it is just another useless gadget...

By that logic, so too is the tachometer.

I'd just like any screen that shows the temps in numbers, instead of having to guess which line the indicator is closer to, and remembering if the gradation is in 10, 20, 25 degrees, or what...

It gives you a quick way to see all your stats for any kind of driving. Wish the sport mode screen had the same info.

Wish it was easier to upgrade. Seems it would not be that difficult with todays technology. Guess there's no money in it!
