Anyone consider installing a HUD in their V?

No i never herd any of the guys tring it.
Too extensive surgery needed.
Though i allways wonderd why it was'nt in the V.

It would be the $hit if it were

The V doesn't have it for the highly technical reason that the old M5 didn't have it. It would have been an added expense that was not deemed necessary to compete with the M5.

Of course in hindsight, now with the onslaught of the 400+hp wars, it would be a nice plus.

Somewhere I recall hearing that it was planned perhaps for 2007? Not sure where I heard that.

actually too distracting for me - but that is just me.

Actually, a buddy of mine added it to his NSX and it was pretty reasonable in cost (less than $1000 p&l) - search google for hud displays.

I've had 3 c5's, all with HUD. Nice to have, mine have always been on, I just never paid any attention to it.

For the few of you reading this thread that think these guys are smoking crack, HUD is Heads up display.
I was reading this thread and was :hmm:. Not until Heavymetals links did I figure out what you guys were saying.:histeric:

Nice system, I have checked it out before.

The major caveat is the sensor additions.:bulging:

It isn't as though the V doesn't have enough of these, and the wiring that would be entailed, BLAH!

My optimum system would be based on wireless (bluetooth) enabled sensors.

Like 10secvette mentioned. It is definitely not a got to have item. I had it on my C5 and had it turned off for some reason. It was off for days before I realized it.

Well it wasn't the deal killer when I bought my V, but I would have liked to have one like on Mr. Vette.

Not having to take your eyes of the road is very neat.:highfive:

 

[patentguy]

Are there any other HUD systems available?

I can't live without mine in my Grand Prix. When I drive other cars I look for it.

after seeing the system in the new z06 i was going to post this same question today...i'm inquiring through a buddy at gm to see how hard of an install it would be (he works on lots of prototype stuff).
