Crowe 02'Z28

GMInsidenews member Xeper sent us these two photos of the production Chevrolet Camaro's auxiliary gauges. The gauges reflect back on the 1960's Camaros and were shown on the concept car. Thus far we have only seen interior photos of the production car that are rendered by GM.

As noticable from the photos, the gauges include: transmission temperature, volt meter, oil temperature and oil pressure. The production gauges appear to be formed from a satin silver plastic.

Xeper also reports that the gauges are already being shipped out for assembly. This likely indicates that pilot builds of the new Camaro are starting at the Oshawa assembly plant. Production of units that actual customers can purchase begins in January of 2009.

Thank God, the SS does not have the gay LbFt ****.

I'm glad to see the more useful trans temp guage instead of the gimicky torque gauge. An air/fuel gauge would have been my first choice though.

Nice old school look. sorta pointless function wise tho

Like the driving lamps on the Mustang GT this gauge cluster is a unique to the car cue for the Camaro. I like them.

As for function, I'd take any aux gauges I can get rather than not have them at all.

I had install volt and oil pressure gauges in my GTO because GM deleted them off for the US.

how long before companies make aftermarket gauges to replace those?

i can see it, boost, air fuel, clock maybe.

i figured GM would get the feedback from that gay tq gauge and put a useful gauge in there. Nice!

I really like them!!!

Assuming they are at all accurate I say the more gauges for things like tranny and oil temp we get, the better. I am pretty happy to see those in the car.

I like them as well but unfortunately I'd read that that gauge package only comes with another more costly (and heavier) option package so as much as I like them I would likely have to pass on them because I like my cars lighter and simpler (and cheaper ).

Awesome. Love the tranny temp and the fact that they have degree numbers, not just that Hot-Cold bullshit. Glad they ditched that mega-gay torque gauge! Thanks, GM!

Oh, but I hope they actually work, unlike 99+ Camaros' temp gauges.

well the m6 version might still get the stupid torque gauge because the manual tranny wont need the trans temp..

or maybe something more useful like maybe the how many more ahrd launches will the IRS take gauge?

Nice, trans temp is a big plus, i'm always adding that to my cars.

hopefully they also offer this as well to keep up with the times and give you a complete picture of your car:

The oil temp gauge will be nice.
