These days i barly look down at it as you learn by the engine note, somthing that i believe happens quicker without having a tacho. Last thing you wanna be doing when you pushing to redline is looking down at a tacho/speedo.
You seem to be a kind of guy that really analyzes things to the extremes. But this statement of yours is just plan silly. There is no way you could drive a car to it's potential without a tacho or shift light of some sort. Looking at your speed will not be accurate enough for you to know when to shift.

Then engine note? come on...
