If you’ve got a 1982-89 Chevy Camaro, then you know how important it is to keep that classic feeling alive while upgrading the tech under the hood. That’s where the Dakota Digital VHX-82C-CAM comes in. This isn’t just another gauge cluster; it’s a game-changer. With five analog instruments and dual LCD message centers, it’s designed to fit right into your factory setup—no fuss, just bolt it in and you’re good to go. Just a heads up, though, this one's not for the Firebird folks.

What really sets the VHX Series apart? For starters, those fully lit needles and backlit faces make everything pop, even in bright sunlight. And let’s talk about visibility—those LCD message centers are easy to read at a glance, which is crucial when you’re out cruising or hitting the track. You’ll appreciate the micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can count on. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to suit your style. It's like having a tailor-made suit for your dashboard.

Now, let’s dive into the specs. The speedometer goes from 0 to 160 MPH, and if you’re into metrics, there’s an option for 0-255 km/h. The tachometer? It’ll keep you in check all the way up to 8,000 RPM. Oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level—you name it, this thing’s got it covered. The oil pressure gauge reads up to 80 psi, while the water temperature gauge runs from 100 to 260°F (or 40 to 120°C if you prefer metric). And don’t worry about running on empty; it’ll show you the fuel level at E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and F.

But it’s not just about the basics. The VHX-82C-CAM also features performance meters that track your 0-60 time, 1/4 and 1/8 mile times, and even trap speeds. This is perfect for those who like to push their Camaro to the limit. And with all the indicators you’d expect—turn signals, high beam, check engine—you’ll never be left in the dark.

Customization is the name of the game. You’ve got over 30 color options to play with, allowing you to change the needle color, sweep color, and digital display color independently. Plus, there are 12 factory preset themes, or go wild and create your own. Daytime and nighttime brightness levels are adjustable, so you can set it just right for your driving conditions. If you want to get fancy, you can add a rotary DIM-1 control for on-the-fly adjustments.

All this tech is packed into a sleek design that’s fully engineered and manufactured in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. And Dakota Digital backs it up with a limited lifetime warranty, which is pretty reassuring when you’re investing in your ride.

Just a quick note: this won’t fit the Berlinetta digital dash, and you’ll need to use your factory bezel and trim, which aren’t included in the package. If you’re ready to elevate your Camaro’s interior, the Dakota Digital VHX-82C-CAM is waiting for you.
