braztang Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 The ineterior of the new Shelby GT500 dashboard no longer has a SUPERCHARGER ANALOG PSI GAUGE! Shelby GT500 interior Picture Could anyone personally visiting the LA AUTO SHOW inquire about that! Safe Ride, braztang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would assume that it along with the amps, water temp, and fuel are in the same location as prior years but they are now digital/LCD and are present until the track app is engaged.

Is it that way on the 12's? Changes from 20 mph increments to 30 in even smaller spaces. I know it's all electronically controlled anyhow, I just thought it was interesting.

Changes from 20 mph increments to 30 in even smaller spaces. I know it's all electronically controlled anyhow, I just thought it was interesting. It took me a while to see that, from 20mph increments once it reaches 100mph, it jumps to 130mph with 30mph increments! It is actually different to the older models, which increments by 20mph. Good observation! GUYS...PLEASE if anyone knows when BANK OPENS for ordering it, ADVISE ASAP. Thank you and a safe ride to everyone out there. braztang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhlgt500 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Lack of the boost guage is no real loss. It wasn't real anyway. It was some interpolation of other engine measurements and hard to read. At least mine is either 0 or swinging to full boost then falling back and has no obvious interpretation. Being slammed back into the seat at full throttle is a much much better indicator that the supercharger is still there and working properly. Oh, it also whines a bit to let you know it is working.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would assume that it along with the amps, water temp, and fuel are in the same location as prior years but they are now digital/LCD and are present until the track app is engaged. The analog Coolant Temp and Gas gauges are integrated into the Tach, as per the photo. My 2011 F-150 has the same Driver Information Center LCD screen between the Speedo/Tach and it has a variety of gauge options. My bet is the Vac/Boost gauge will be in the DIC with a digital read-out similar to the Trans Temp gauge on my truck. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 At least mine is either 0 or swinging to full boost then falling back and has no obvious interpretation. That's what roots blowers do - swing to full boost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachane Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Lack of the boost guage is no real loss. Nevertheless it's fun to watch, like the original 1970s Battlestar Galactica sequences where the Viper pilots hit their "Turbo" buttons and their ships did an outer-space burnout. :burnout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
