Does anyone other than me find this annoying?

I find it difficult to see the speedometer when driving due to the position of my left hand on the steering wheel-I always find myself speeding...does this annoy anyone else?

I have a 99 model boxster the digital speedometer is located in the center of the gauge cluster on the older versions. If it aggrevates you that much maybe you could get an older version cluster. Not sure if the functions match up to newer versions but I'm sure there's someone out there that does know.

Who cares how fast you are going as long as those rice rockets are in your mirror.

I dont think Porsche engineers care if you see the spedo!

I found it amusing they placed the tach promenently large and centered in the cluster and then the spedo was like an afterthought.

as like many of you, i love driving fast....everytime I see a cop I have to change hand positions....,maybe get a K40 installed in the cluster...i guess the germas are less concerned about the speed than the tach....

Hi,

Many Performance based Cars have their Tach centered and the Speedo relegated to the side. There is a long tradition of this. The Tach is centered on my Lotus Esprit, my Datsun 240Z, the Mini I used to own, even the Modern Mini has upheld this tradition.

This is because the Speedo is truly of secondary importance. An Experienced Driver, who knows his Car doesn't need a Speedo. Since your Car's speed is a product of RPMs/Gear Selected, you should know what speed you're driving just by looking at the Tach. The Tach also provides additional information to the Driver, such as Engine condition and Shift Points.

Take the time to study your Car to determine what MPH corresponds to your RPM/Gear Selection, and you'll never need a Speedo again...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
