Default Boost Gauge in this Pic???

I don't know if you can see this in full resolution but below the oil pressure there is what appears to be two rotors and "PSI" just like the current C6 ZR1 has on it's cluster. Anyone know anything about that?

Yes that IS indeed PSI. Bring on the Z06/Zr1!

Tire pressure wouldn't be -15 lol. I'm guessing just a vacuum/boost gauge.

Yup. Sure is!!

Couple other observations: paddle shiffers with "rev match" on them. Trans temp gauge, Have yet to see one on a manual trans. Couple that w boost gauge can we assume there will be a boosted version with an aito trans?

ever since the LT1 info was released. a bunch of us have been drooling over the potential a boosted engine would have with the new injection
