What is the point of tachometers? Any minimally skilled driver

What is the point of mirrors? You can hear cars coming from behind

Hard to hear electric cars or bicycles in city traffic.

>Most manual cars in the 1980s and earlier didn't have one either.

>race cars often have tach only, no speedo
>80's race cars all had enormous tach in the middle, from dtm to group b wrc

i guess group b was age of babbies

a lot of race cars are like that
here's a digital dash in NASCAR from a few years ago

op is just some autist that thinks he's badass because he drives his shitbox around town without needing a tach

OP only thinks that because he is a poor who has a base model car without a tach. You can always tell who is a poor.

it's rotated so you shift when the needle is at 12 o'clock

authentic footage featuring professional racing savant blowing up engine simply because he lost dashboard backlight for a couple of seconds

I think this might be characteristic of every cool car. Pic related: Lotus 49 was a cool car, and it also had tach tilted so top of rpm range is on the top.

i wonder why every formula car has weather switch. i mean, i understand the importance of weather in race, but i'm not sure if it really changes weather

They are just there to piss you off, OP
Every manufacturer collectively agreed a while ago on a global plan to put tachos on every car so you will always be anally frustrated when driving one.
It's a conspiracy against you, nobody really needs tachometers of course.

If you can't drive a manual without a tach, you should probably take the bus instead.

take that senna, you and your overrated 98t aint shit against angry anon who drives without tach

it's sad how racing kind of interior looks silly in weak shitboxes, it means i'll never make my car look as good as old racecars

can you hear the difference between 7600 and 7750 rpm cause I gurantee you you fucking can't.

>tfw tach is positioned so small that is is totally and utterly useless anyways, especially from a normal riding angle

Feels kind of annoying man

>>17318419
You could certainly drive without one, but why neglect to have one? I think if I had to sacrifice for the cost, I'd take cloth seats over a gimped dashboard.

i have no post to respond to, but i'm afraid i have to post one more cool dash from old dtm race car. this time it has different, non-arithmetic scaling

those things are the most boner-inducting car elements

and maybe one more, please ignore ugly wheel, it's probably detatchable anyway. i guess mercedes had to pretend it's comfy and shit for sake of their customer type

minimalistic before minimalism was cool
