The 787b uses a digital display. I guess we should feel bad that the 787b feels like an 80s vette or a late 70s Zcar?

Its two different things when its on a purpose built race car, and a street car that will never see the track.
On a race car the fewer things it has, the less weight it has. There is a reason why F1, and Lemans cars use these things. They take up less space, offer lots of information and weigh less then have 3-10 convential gauges.
I myself like the OEM look of the stock interior very much.
If you happen to dig old Vette's and Z's (which I do not) then please feel free to add as much cool digital stuff as you want. May I also suggest a talking car alarm and Knight Rider style light for the front???
If you want to compare it to a 4 Rotor Racecar, you might as well Acid Dip the car, weld all the joints, throw in a 4 rotor motor, and race tranny, rip out all interior pieces add sponsor decals and go win one for the team!!!

Exactly. www.aircraftspruce.com, catalogue, instruments, instrumentation systems, VM1000L.
(can't......seem......to.........create.....a..... ..link......
need....... damnit...... more power Scotty!)

$2,400.00 - when you consider what it can do and the accuracy it's not bad. I wanted something WAY cool to play with. It's going to be a project wiring it up.

Hmmm, I think it needs a chrome bezel though for all you purists.

Now about the custom dash.. It's going to look great with my new two tone solid medium grey and perforated charcoal grey leather seats. Don't expect any pictures until winter. The ENTIRE interior is stripped out now for soundproofing. Arghhhh.

Where's Kit when you need him?

Did I forget to mention that my ride will come when I call him/her/it? (****, now I have to give my wheels a name too.....)

I like the stock interior too. But EVERYONE has one.

I am bored after ten years. It's my tenth anniversary birthday present to my car.
There, now you know my motivation.

No talking car alarm, NO WAY....

Ok, maybe.
