I had HUD on my C5 - loved it.

I do not have it on my C6, I miss it, but not a biggie, turns out I can live without it. Price is the factor for me on this option

The harder you drive the car, the more valuable the HUD is. You can keep your eyes on the road, and what you are doing. Since the tach is electronic on the dash now, I am expecting the HUD tach to perfectly keep up with engine revs now.

Helll no!!!

Definitely not a waste. I got used to not looking at the gauges and keeping my speed in check simply by using my peripheral vision.

Looking down at the cluster now seems awful and dangerous now. LOL

I love the HUD. Looking forward to the new and improved version.

You just need to use it to appreciate the HUD.

I dearly love being able to see my speed without taking my eyes off the road.

Once you have had HUD, you will never go back!!

I suspect that anyone that calls it a gimmick either doesn't push their cars, or hasn't driven a car aggressively with a HUD. My C5 had one, my 2 C6s have/had one. As long as GM keeps putting them in Corvettes, I'll keep using them.

The advantage to the Stingray HUD is that you don't have to compromise on the information you can have available to you at any time. The integration of the center screen, the IP and the HUD is much improved over previous generations. You had to choose street mode previously if you wanted turn by turn info on the HUD (and you lost access to other useful vehicle information) and you had to leave your map screen up if you were trying to see surrounding streets relative to your upcoming turn. With the Stingray you can display a small nav window on the IP, have your favorites list up on the audio screen and get your turn by turn on the HUD along with other vehicle information.

On a track or during spirited driving, the HUD is such a useful tool. Critical information in your field of view all the time.

No way. When you start driving hard you don't have time to look down.

No. Wouldn't order one without it. Super thrifty types can always order the 1LT. I've always felt if I can't afford to order a new vette fully loaded with all the top options, I would not buy one until I could. To me it begs the question, what does being a cheap f--- serve, if you are vette junkie, except not getting what you really want. When you were in high school, did you want the hot cheerleader or the one without all the bells & whistles ?

Loved it. Best option in my C6s. Every car needs it, IMHO.

I totally agree, I had it in my previous three C6's and miss it when I am driving my new Infiniti M. looking forward to the updated HUD in my future C7!

Only experienced it in the C5, and that was pretty basic, but I liked having it on. Found the G-sensor to be utterly useless though.

Garmin is getting into HUD with nav as an aftermarket device. Maybe it will catch on.

No.

Love my C5 HUD.

I still like it, however the GPS functionality would be truly awesome!

The C6 HUD does display some GPS information: next turn direction, street name, and distance to, when in street mode.

I have said for years the needle swinging gages are useless. Put the needed real-time information on the HUD and make the dash a configurable display. The C7 finally does that.
