Obviously you don't race your car. Have you ever taken it down the 1/4 or done circuit racing? Even quick squirts at the lights? There is no way i could get the times i'm getting without a tacho/shiftlift light, there is a reason y in a lot of race cars there is only the tacho and no speedo, it's the most important part when it comes to racing. Especially down the 1/4 where every bit counts, there's no way you can just use the speedo, you won't be able to fully untilise your max rev range with out hitting the rev limiter, or shifting to early and slowing you down.

If you guys are taking about just driving daily like a bitch, that's another story.

Dude relax, wheres this attitude coming from all of a sudden? While no, i havnt done quarter mile runs. I run to redline on a daily basis, is not being down the quarter like you gunna be a dissadvantage reguarding what what were talking about?
Both my brother and father have been involved in motorsport, and i was taught to listen to the engine, and how practicing this will allow you to push to the limits without looking down in the heat of the battle. If you feel youd be hitting the limiter or shifting to early without watching your tacho, then your to reliant on it to begin with. Simple....

I spent about a month with a tacho in my car about half a year ago, having the tacho didnt get me any closer to redline than without, my ears were telling me the exact same thing the tacho was: the engines at its redline.

During that time, just before i removed it, i checked it against the speedo, and guess what, exactly as the manual states redline in 1st occours at 50km/h, redline at second occours exactly at 90km/h. Apart from the smaller sweep range, please inform me why the cars oem tacho is going to be less accurate than the cars speedo, im keen to learn .

Even with the tacho in, i barly used it, as i have already said, my ears know pretty much exactly when the engines at redline at the exact point id usually shift, i confirmed this also before i got rid of the tacho (seemed to get 10x more police attention with it) i drove without looking at it with my best mate watching it for me, and hey guess what, EVERY SHIFT I MADE WAS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY THERE ON REDLINE, hence why i got rid of it, watching it wasnt getting me any closer to the redline. The only thing it was doing for me was attracting cops.

Gees what a pity, it must mean i cant too then hey......lol.

My best mate drives a slightly modded swift, we cruise together alot. I consistantly pull very slightly on him through 1st and second, he starts gaining back when i shift to third.

The period that i had a tacho didnt make me faster ONE LITTLE BIT AT ALL in the numerous time we ran together. Having a tacho was just confirming exactly what my hearing was telling me. Maby your ears arnt very fine tuned, ive been playing music my whole life and find using a tach was no more accurate for me.
