Looks cool but massively unreliable (like many things about the early C4 Corvette). IMO the mixed digital analogue revision of the 1990 MY has aged better. Still a really unappreciated generation of the Corvette

@cpufreak101 2 ай бұрын

I feel like these aged far more gracefully than people back then expected. I've seen many complaints from auto journalists about this style of gauge cluster at the time, which honestly might be why we got stuck with boring dials for the 90's and 2000's instead of seeing the tech behind these refined.

I had one of these. I didn't like the Captain Video display and readouts at first, but grew to like it. Had to switch between oil press/temp, or voltmeter/fuel. At night it looked great, but gradually began to fade out, as all of them eventually do. Repair was $500 (twenty years ago).
