Well I am a guage hawk, I guess that's the engine builder in me. For those reasons I pride myself in being a great test driver, I normally can shake a car down alot better and quicker than even drivers faster than me. I never liked gauges behind the steering wheel, with bulky driving gloves on it noramlly take extra effort to look at them, for that reason I normally don't put anything behind the steering wheel in any of my cars.
I tell you guys what I tell folks when I instruct driver schools, you must be able to process information very quickly to be a good driver, in a a mere second you should be able to check the mirrors, make a shift, scan the gauges and still be in the middle of a battle, if you can master this, you will be the complete driver. I can not tell you how many non-gauge watching drivers I worked with over the years, it's hard for me to fix the problem when the driver gives me zero information.
