The sti cluster would be sick, but if theres issues getting it in and working properly as well as gaps from it not fitting right, I am not sure it would be such a great idea. Putting that shift light in the air vent is a good idea however...I might actually do that. Who knows. I want something just like a single LED that is on my dash, and flashes when its time. Thats it.
Yeah same here...just want something descreet that lights up like the STI cluster does. I'm not too concerned about the gaps on my cluster area. I actually would like to eventually replace my interior dash with an 05+ setup....but performance > asthetics for me at the moment

bah, i can tell you the rpm on my r6 just as easy as my wrx from the engine and exhaust noise. don't tell me things go by too quickly to learn this, believe me the r6 does it *x faster than my car.

Daredevil - haven't been to the track yet, and I hate when people say this but, "it should" be in the 10's. The car dynoed 484whp at Speed Element this weekend, the dyno reads low like GST.

sigma pi - yea i've had the v7 cluster and now have the usdm sti cluster. i must not hear well then or my turbo is just too loud

From a roll I think the car might take the bike, from a stop I think the bike may have it. Davon, think you can best a 10.6?

I had a 600rr and it wasn't much faster then a Supercharged mustang from a roll.
