secondary gauges

the two central pods house the primary gauges (tach and speedo)...there looks to be secondary gauges at the bottom of each pod..does anyone know for sure it that's correct? i would assume that if they indeed are secondary gauges, they would be the fuel level and the coolant temp.

looking at the pics i can discern that one of the four secondary gauges forward of the shifter is a volt meter...does anyone know what the other three gauges are?

Here this picture will help answer your question:



Looks like the secondary gauges in the IP are water temp on the left, fuel level on the right.

Console gauges appear to be: torque, volts, oil temp, oil pressure.

In that respect, I guess you could consider the Camaro a hybrid, since it burns gas, rubber, and Decepticons.

For S%^% and giggles....

Really there's no need for an oil pressure gauge. If you notice that you have no oil pressure, it's pretty much too late for your engine anyway.

thanks for the info...i must say, i too have never heard of a torque gauge; is it a measurement of the torque output of the motor?

Get rid of the torque gauge, move the water temp to its place. Move the fuel gauge to replace the water temp under the speedo and put a shift light under the tach where the fuel gauge was. A programmable shift lift will be infinitely more usable than a novelty torque gauge.

Actually the press release info said a tranny temp gauge instead of a torque gauge. I hope its right, a torque gauge is a useless thing.

Supposedly the 4 gauges near the shifter are "optional". If you choose not to have them, what will go there instead?
