Let’s be real, if you own a Corvette, you’re not just cruising around for the scenery. You’re behind the wheel because you love the thrill of driving. Whether you've swapped out that sluggish L82 for a beefy big block or gone all out with a turbocharged LS, you need a gauge setup that’s as serious about performance as you are.

The Dakota Digital VHX Series is where it's at. It offers a choice between a slick LCD message center (VET) or a classic analog clock (VTA) to fill that fifth gauge spot in your center cluster. You’ve got your full-size speedometer and tach right in your line of sight, so you never miss a beat while tearing up the road.

Now, let’s talk about the build. The gauge housing is crafted from billet aluminum and finished in a flat black powder coat, keeping that original vibe intact while adding a touch of modern flair. The oil pressure, water temp, voltmeter, fuel level, and that extra LCD message center (if you go that route) mount right onto the back of your stock center console bezel. It’s a clean install that feels like it belongs there.

What really sets the VHX Series apart are the details. You’ve got fully lit needles and backlit faces that make everything pop, plus an LCD message center that’s easy to read at a glance. Inside, it’s packed with micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors for accuracy you can trust. And let’s not forget the customizable display feedback—because who doesn’t want their gauges to match their style? Plus, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty, which is pretty much a given with Dakota Digital.
