Default Dash+HUD Mode Pictures

I don't think anyon has put this over here yet. I've spent a lot of time playing around over on the website and there's a lot of information to be had.











Discuss.

Yea, white is a good color to put on a HUD. What is wrong with the "engineers" that design and spec these things?

The dash setup is pretty cool. I love the various display modes. It may be too much for some but I think its pretty brilliant. Especially when you consider they include Heads Up Display as a standard feature. That's a lot of pertinent data right where you need while not having to take your eyes off the road.

Tough crowd here.

That white HUD is a bit worrisome for sure.

I agree the white is not good...blends in too much! Hopefully, since it's supposedly a color HUD ....the windshield display colors will be user selectable.

The c6r has blue lights that blink when traction control is intervening...that could be the dots...letting you know there is traction loss..


I'm lost on the white...wtf?

Hmmm. There's that 7:21 in track mode on the last lap. Wasn't 7:21 in the pic of the owners manual leaks too?

The HUD is not a standard feature on the C7. Only available in 2LT trim and up.

Keep in mind that vantage point is not where even a short driver's eyes would be.

My HUD is nowhere even remotely near the horizon under any circumstances. I'm 6 feet tall but I have the seat bottom fairly low. I see the HUD projected on the road 8-10 feet in front of the nose of the car. Shorter drivers would see it a bit further out, but still, you'd never actually view it with the sky behind it unless you were cresting a REALLY abrupt hill.

Yes, the top row of lights are shift lights. Straight off the C6R. They light up from the sides in then change colors at redline. Very cool!!

Check out this video of the gauges in action. I think i'd be worried about watching the gauges too much and not the road!

Does anyone know if you can select one mode for the instruments/hud display and another for the actual driving mode? In other words, could someone select tour for the instruments and track for the driving?

Is that track mode... or is that C4 Tach mode?

(Sensitivity disclaimer - just having a little cross-generational fun, not insulting the the new design, not saying it was "lifted")
