You can try to convince yourself that a screen is fine, but truth be told, analog is for the rich and screens are for the poors.

I’d like to know the response time of the digital tach vs. analog. Is there a difference? Is the digital one more laggy? If so I have a problem with it.
I thought the analog one is a more mechanical connection to the car.

Like for like a digital tach is more accurate… Or you can ask Adrian Newey why

What??

Have you sat in a Mclaren?

The interiors are about as bland and Spartain as white toast.

Their steering wheels make a Porsche steering wheel look like a Lego set that a blind person tried to put together.

I was referring more to the Ferrari. I don’t care for McLaren interiors either though.

Analog tachs haven’t been mechanically connected for a long time. I would be shocked if the digital tach was not much more accurate.

I think it's like looking at a Rolex dial vs. an Apple Watch

Doesn’t that depend on which Rolex we are talking about if you are looking to tell time ?
Or are you looking at the Rolex dial for aesthetic purposes and not to tell time ?

the focus on this digital tach is so incredibly stupid. The entire car is digital. 80% of the gauges in the 992.1 were digital. You aren't coming out of a 993 into this.

Its just like the dopes that call 991s RAW, where as 992s are just too cushy.

You're all gonna go buy the car eventually so quit the kvetching.

While I love the look of analog dials, I’ve gotten used to riding my motorcycles by sound/feel such that I don’t glance at them very often but I find the digital display info useful. Likewise I drive my cars more by sound and feel but obviously look at the display for critical info. As such, I don’t think the new 992.2 display bugs me as much as the start button.

No-it is not relevant which Rolex we are talking about. All Rolexes are less accurate than a 20 dollar quartz watch in the short run-- which is the lifespan of a 20 dollar watch.

As for the analog dials, I would prefer either all analog or all digital. However the digital dashes do offer more info and more diverse looks.
