No HUD?

I love the HUD. Mostly for the speedo, but I also have the oil pressure displayed.

I agree with you dude. I never use it, its always turned off in mine.
It was cool to play with when I just got the car but once I was settled in I never use it.

Love it! I still look at my other guages, but I like to see the speedo up there when I'm at high speeds.

Thats the main reason I like it. During those spirited driving moments 120+, things happen very quickly and having the speed and other info right in front of you helps a lot.

I LOVE IT. I wish I had it in the other car I have , the HHR SS, as the speedo is tiny and has like 10mph increments, not the best for pressing your luck with the speeds. Its so intuitive, and you know right away when something else is wrong with the car because warnings pop up on it too. You know how fast you are going while actually seeing the action on the road too, very handly for running hard in traffic.

On the track, HUD is a life-saver. Having the tach, speed and oil pressure right there means not having to look down at critical moments. On the street, having the speed right in front of me has saved me several potential tickets. The only time I find it annoying is at night, on dark roads. But that's what the light control is for. All around, HUD is a good thing, IMHO.

I use it all the time, speedo only. I would not get a Z06 or C6 without this feature.

i wouldn't say that i dont like it....but i think the analog gauges are almost perfect. id rather look at them. if only they had the chrome ring around them.

the only real benefits in my opinion: at high speeds if you have a malfunction, you dont have to take your eyes off the road. and if you dont have a shift light, it helps with the rpm at the track.

I agree, pretty pointless in my book. I may have turned it on once.

If it had a good tach it would be a different story.

Sometimes people complain about the strangest things...it's got a switch, turn it off if that's your choice...

I like this HUD better than the one in my Grand Prix GXP. That one (red) could not be seen while wearing Polarized sunglasses, so it was pretty useless in the light of day. I need to use the one in the Corvette because I have a tendency of looking at the road and not the tachometer (too many automatic transmissions). The HUD tach and shift light save me from hitting the rev limiter…

The glare from the HUD unit annoyed me even with it turned off. I will wait to find a C5 without HUD if/when I buy another.
