Nope, its an option on the regular Vettes.

It depends on whether you want something else doing the "averaging" for you or not.

Some people (myself included) don't want anything masked by a buffer or otherwise.

Sometimes the subtle details expressed on an unbuffered gauge can tell a person with a good eye more about what's really going on.

I hate any assumptions made about "what I need to see". Let me be the arbiter of that.

That is fine in all, but you need to realize that ALL GAUGES ARE BUFFERED to an extent. Any gauge has to be segmented by some time or spring pressure differentiation. By how much is up to personal preference. This is what always gets me going when talking about this shit to non-engineers.

How shit works and feels in the real world fucking matters. Fuck the math. Fuck the theory. This is what always gets me going when talking about this shit to engineers.

That is exactly my point. You buffer something based upon it's intended use/user. If I'm an engine engineer, I want oil pressure to be measured every 100ms and in as small as 5kPa increments. If I'm a race car builder, I want it every 500ms and at 0.5PSI increments. And if I drive a fucking Buick Century with a dummy light, every 10 seconds on average with a 5PSI increment is good enough so I never see the light unless I have no oil in the engine.

It is all on how you wish to display the data pure and simple.

Wow.

You actually made sense.

Who are you, and does 101 know you're logged onto his account?

We have to keep you in engineer mode more often.
