Movement of Time Display to Right

DJ Rocc · 09-02-2014, 03:27 PM

Ok.

On the new 2015 Gran Coupes the Time Display was moved to the Right Hand side of the Display for Clarity.

But I am seeing some 2015 Gran Coupes with the time in the Center still.

Anyone have an explanation?

you really should start a thread called DJ Rocc Question thread - that way you won't have to start a new one every time something pops up in your mind.

5'6" but i slam that seat to the floor.

I really dislike the analog gauges and the steering wheel orientation. I s =it too low to read the lower line of the exstended display (time and milage) and the steering wheel blocks the top of the analog speedometer. That's what makes the HUD so useful.

Interesting Idea.

But then there would only be Threads with people's names on them. Lol.

Ok, that makes sense. And when you slam the seat to the floor how is your driving field of view?

Appears to me it may not be the car... but the driver.

I always thought, smaller driver seat higher, taller driver seat lower. Set driving position and wheel to see all the display.

Each to his own, but I also ask, how's your driving field of view?

Racecar drivers always sit as low as possible.

. Lower COG.

This. Watch the /Drive video of Chris Harris teaching drifting on the M235. He goes through driving position.
