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...

I dont really see much of a difference between looking at the speedo and shifting at 50kmh/90kmh, and looking at a tacho and shifting at 7000rpm, yes its going to be silghtly less accurate because of the smaller sweep, but if your watching your tacho to shift exactly on 7000rpm your not paying enough attention to the road IMO.

Yes, thats right the engine note (i suppose road speed also plays a part in helping your sences feel where to shift).

Are you telling me you cant drive your car, and shift pretty much right on the redline without looking down at your tacho???
Im sure you can, as can i and most others who enjoy driving, by listening to the engine......

All im trying to say, is even though all these features are wonderful and make life a little easier, they really dont impact much at all on the driving experiance, so dont feel bad if you cant get em...

Please let me know specifically what you find silly and over analysed by my opionions on living without a tacho.

Yeah, its got no tacho, but it didnt take long for me to realise how usless a tacho really is. Your manual tells you what the maximum safe speeds are for each gear. It i was driving to redline id shift at 50 in 1st, 90 in second and 135 or so in 3rd, no difference in looking at a tacho, and looking at your speedo. These days i barly look down at it as you seem to learn when to shift 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.

If i was analysing to the extream, i woulnt of said

no difference in looking at a tacho, and looking at your speedo.

I would of made some of the points youve brought up, and said somthing more along the lines of

While the accuracy is slighlty less when comparing the speedometer to the tachometer due to the smaller sweep, it really isnt any harder at all to watch the speedo compared to the tacho.

So yeah let me know by pm what you find silly or analised to the extream ok.
I think youve been over analysing my opinion.....
