You'll find that in a Cobra with any horsepower at all, you'll be more concerned about keeping the car on the road than making sure the tach goes to 6200 instead of 6000....
Agreed.

Another point worth noting is with any high powered car, watching the road is more important than watching your gauges.

As well as your normal gauges, I recommend a shift light, a high brightness LED warning lamp for vitals and a rev limiter.
