I love mine, and can see how when my heavy foot wife drives the hell out of the car.
She drives it like a sports car..

How about this -> PLX Devices Inc. - DM-200 OBD II 60mm Universal Gauge

Analog style gauge (well, OLED display that looks like an analog gauge) with OBD II connectivity.

Probably lags the same as the Scangauge though.

Just plug it into the OBD II socket under the dash. I think they're about $150.

Anyone checked to see if the PLX 52mm gauge fits in the Clock Pod off the stock gauges? That, with one of their custom backgrounds to match the tach would be awesome. Through oil or coolant temp in there and you're set.
