nice gauges
I was thinking more along the lines of a big money show car.... sure, some drag racers have money to throw away and these guages do serve a somewhat useful purpose. However, I think it is more of a "show" appeal.

they arent rice. they would look killer in a show car. But i promise you that there will be dozens of ricers at G2G's everywhere that put these in their car thinking that they will go faster
I like them personally, since you can set them on one color and leave them. I like the expandability idea also, if I understand correctly how they're going to work. It'd be cool to make some passes at the track then really analyze the runs on a laptop that night. I could care less what they do when you cut the car on and off, but I like the colored needle.
As for money, having sold Auto Meter for years, they WILL BE way over priced for a year or two after they come out. Then, the next big thing will come out, and they will come down a little. I'd honestly be suprised if they were less than $250 per gauge, with the memory card and software being extra, of course!
I like them, you don't, that's the joy of being an american, you can't tell me not to!!!

Thanks for your help

And yes you should think twice about 4.10s and slicks on your 10 bolt.I like the guages, they are a not as pricey as i thought they would be.

I think they are cool and all, probably match the TA interior color/style the best....but **** that on the price, has some cool functions and all but won't be necessary for me....I am sure they'll be a bunch of people who could use it and get great use out of it and would consider the price as "not bad" considering everything you get
