Speedometer is on the left side Jesus :)

Joseph

Jeeze, why all the hate?

Seinosuke

One Word TOOL. I think its RPM and he revs it to listen to his awesome rumbling exhaust. Sad and Lonely....

djmicheli

@Ricky: stick to technology guys, cars aren't your thing. As Ricky said, thats the tach. The MPH is on the left..

simplegreen

@Thom:

is X10 supposed to be a buy with a mustache and his mouth open?

shorty6049

tachometer x 10

FireBALL

Sure there's a lot of crap but I'm digging the little audio visualizer behind the steering wheel. I'd buy one of those.

Voohoo

I take it back... tac x 10, i agree with the ppl above :)

Namster

@Polybius: Look at HUDS on new airplanes. Seems about the same to me. That would drive me nuts though. I hated my old Pontiac with digital displays for everything.

marc_wtih_a_c

In wanna say tach x 10 too, but then he does a lot of pointless revving during his first stop.

smegz

@snitch29: LOL!!!

Ariel_Wollinger

All those bright LEDs would be an irritating distraction while trying to drive...

Polybius

EGT ..those numbers go high really fast... it's not boost cuz boost doesn't go up so fast..and uhmm... speedo is on left side.

Namster

This video reminds me of one time i recorded the knight rider theme songs and use to played it while my brother pull up on a piece of shit car he brought, boy he use to get pist-off

snitch29

what a moron

PornoDaddy

@Ricky: Yeah, I think it's a tach also.

Thom

It's a meter that tells you how much of a douche bag (or a cock, if you're from England) you are.

Daytodaz3

it's merely a relativistic effect!

jbhitter24

Tach, X10

Ricky

Heh he can spot a photochop by using multiple vanishing points but can't tell a tach when he sees it. Apparently Jesus didn't blow his college savings on a camaro that never ran.....like me. Now I know all ABOUT cars.

devilonsteroids

Now maybe if the guy just put an iPod/iPhone dock in plain view Jesus would have shown the guy love instead of bagging on him.

I obviously is a Tac...also the guys speedometer needs calibration, it stayed at 2mph when he was sitting still.

max11221

It's not a real car unless it has a flower vase. ;-)

No_7

I think its all just a compensation tool for a small penis.

Truth Bringer :D

@Boba.Fett: ditto

thefutureisnow

Like the others, I'm gonna guess that it's the tachometer.

Boba.Fett

@smegz: Yeah, it didn't seem to behave like a tach. I'm thinking it is either something like air-fuel ratio, or some other random OBDII parameter (injector duty cycle, engine load, etc.)

CSX321

I wonder if he realizes that KITT didn't make that much noise. He needs to fit a hybrid engine in that thing.

NcSchu

@Seinosuke: Jealousy. Everyone wanted to drive KITT when we were little. This guy has KITT, and some people are jealous.

PlayerX

@Namster: tachometer. There're both a stripe and the numbers.

PlayerX

@snitch29: Nothing beats Lada Raider!

+ Watch video

PlayerX

Um, that's the Ford product placement shot whore-o-meter.

JeepMcMuddy

Why not join the echo...

Tach in center,
Speedometer to the left.

Kharnellius

@CSX321: Every Digital tachometer make pointless reeving when use with point ignition engines at idle, but you have an accurate reading when doing 1200+ RPM.

My instructor told me so when i was doing my PPL in a small Allegro 2000 equiped with a digital tach.

Maniako

I want one of those sweet KITT air fresheners for my rear view mirror.

Duncan345

RPMS

Sticky230

rev counter :D

DaWickedBird

That's a Mini Particle Accelerator

EdBansil

a few too many lights, but otherwise, keep that fire burning brother. Any chick who does not think you are a crazy mofo who loves what he loves, makes cool things, and doesnt give an F about what other people think doesnt deserve to ride in your car (KARR)

+10 if you are still in high school.

redkamel

It's the number of women in the vicinity that are running away from him

indorock

C'mon guys... it's the bearing he is driving on: 0 to 360. It changes when he turns.

Diplomate

I reacon its a guage to show how many people are looking at you and thinking you are a tool... and take note its people per second!

ShadowX

@simplegreen: Yup, agreed.

KStrike155

Yeah, he even says compass somewhere in the video..

bngi

I guess it's RPMs, but damn that engine idles slow. I can't imagine going 15-20 MPH in my car and having my engine BELOW 1000 RPMs. Granted I don't drive a giant V8.

No way it's a compass, btw; watch when he goes around corners vs when he just speeds up in a straight line.

bobman1235

The indicator at the right it's for RPM not speed. And it was working pretty fine.

arod

What does "RPMS" or "RPMs" stand for? Please enlighten those of us who speak standard English.

JDisnidiet

@PornoDaddy: "Moran" duh.

Viva La Volvo

@JDisnidiet:

Revolutions per Minute. It is standard English, and pretty much the measure worldwide.

Airport_Whiskey

gizmodo smartass.

arod

The ralenty speed is about 850 RPM. It's X10.

arod

@PlayerX: LOL @ :37

pitpawten

It's probably a RPM gauge, but it could also be an exhaust gas temperature gauge.

sluissa

man i can't believe no one figured out it's an IPS(inches per second)meter

hothstudios

He does mention on the video that he had to get home to keep the wife happy, so we know he's not living in his parent's basement. I'd say that if you have a car like this, and still have a wife, you'd better keep her happy somehow!

I can imagine the eyeroll she probably does every time people ask her, "isn't your husband the guy that drives that Knight Rider car?" Better keep a gun out of her hands!

orbitcorbett

It looks like a tach, but like his speedo (that sits on 002 mph fully stopped), the numbers don't always seem to match his shifting and rev noise. I think he needs better calibration, but whatever makes you feel important and special I guess.

AndreaNerq

For the people saying tachymeter, even multiplying by a factor of 10 wouldn't get it up to speeds useful for acceleration. Then again, he's only going an average of 15-20 mph. Why not let KITT go?

SuchetaThisbe

Typical Giz, you have it wrong again as usual. You don't know the difference between a tach and a speedo.

vincentw561

@Joseph: Taken out of context, your comment is priceless.

rrogahn

if your going to insult giz, at least be right about it. Any non diesel that is idling under 100 has some serious issues. Its not a tach, I watched the video and couldn't figure out what it is.

lnlogauge

Can anybody please tell us what the hell the number is in the middle of that Christmas tree dashboard?

Potential to pick up chicks?? (It doesn't hit green until 1000)

Duc

@Ricky: Yeah its the tach, x10 means if you take the number on that display and multiply it by 10 you get the actual RPM...

Not sure why I am responding to Ricky since he knew what he was talking about, but no one else had explained the x10 thing yet since some of you clearly didn't get it.

bpapa9013

JESUS! That number signifies the charge of the FLUX CAPACITOR! Are you insane! How can you NOT know what that is?! When it reaches 400 he has to drive 85 mph to make the jump through space and time. Geez! Kids these days...

michelinman85

Does the theme song play every time you drive the car?

Quasimodo

That is NOT an offical Knight Rider air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror. Fail.

RacecarBoobTat

That's his rev's (or tach).

ViperBorg

its a magnetic compass readout. 0-360. watch it moves as he turns...duh.

supernovax

Ok it is either NOT a compass or not a properly working compass. I watched him do a 90' turn and then a 180' turn and it did not change more than 5-8 digits.

It might be a badly tuned tach Otherwise no idea.

Nerys

He probably had an analog dash and when he switched to digital he didn't change the computer ship causing the speedometer to give false readings. BAM!!!!!!!!

Gino Camaro

Nope, it's the fuel consumption rate in Liters/gallons per kilometers/miles. My guess is his consumption rate is 34 liters per 100 miles at that point.

NapoleonAnchises

It's an A-F ratio reading. Only thing I could come up with. The numbers are probably specific to his liking.
