I like the gauges. Oil temp would be cool, if it makes it to the production version (I'm not holding my brief). Swap the torque gauge for an accurate water temp gauge and it'll be all set.
Still not digging the speedo/tach setup.

Forgetting my opinion on the aesthetics of the dash and usability of the gauges for a moment...
A torque gauge? Seriously? A torque gauge?
That is about the lamest and stupidest thing I've seen yet. What sort of demographic is supposed to find this appealing? Is this supposed to impress the NOPI car show judges?
I have waited years for this car and very much want to love it. I've owned a handful of Camaros, every one bought new except for the '68. I've seriously enjoyed my 4th gen both as a daily driver and a racer. I've owned nothing but GM. My family has owned nothing but GM.
But after seeing this torque gauge business, I found myself on Ford's website pricing a new Mustang. I can't believe I actually did that to tell the truth but it seems the writing is on the wall.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope they impress me. I'll wait until I'm able to kick the tires to make up my mind but it seems I'm finding more things I don't like about this car every week. I'm losing faith....

I agree with you, I'm looking at the new Mustangs as well. Eligible for X-plan, College Student Discount, and all that other cash back stuff. Problem is all the dealers around here have $4000 in options on all of their cars that I don't want. Who needs heated seats in Florida?
Only thing that beats me about the Mustang is why they haven't increased the power ever so slightly each year the car has been out. Guess they haven't had any competition for awhile.

I happen to like the idea of such a gauge. And I would have thought you'd be able to keep some perspective here. We already know some things about the new Camaro. RWD, IRS, A6 and M6 options, hi-torque V8 of some variant... do you not classify that as 'serious'? What planet are you from?
