The IUP cluster looks so weird to me because I've been used to driving my non-IUP. The non-IUP even includes a retro push-button to reset the trip odometer. It also selects between the odometer and trip odometer. It can't display both the odometer and trip odometer at the same time!

The battery and oil gauges are really idiot gauges. I've never had a Ford battery gauge actually help. The oil pressure gauges tell you that there's oil pressure or no oil pressure - equally useless.
The only thing in the IUP that I would have wanted in my GT was the trip computer but I don't really need one. A pencil and paper pad is all I need to calculate gas mileage.

A couple weeks ago I noticed the water temp reaches a point and stops. While sitting in traffic the Ford Racing gauge went from 195 to 220 while the factory gauge stayed the same.

Yep, that's essentially an idiot gauge. The oil pressure gauges in Fords generally are the same. It shows you either have oil pressure or no oil pressure.
The Jack Roush tuned Marauders had Autometer Comp gauges from the factory and they were still idiot gauges. Some people modified them to work as real gauges.
What did you think of Livonia? That's actually not the worst part of the area. There's a lot of businesses and industrial zones in that area.

TOO much traffic in a small area.....Definately not used to the type of drivers in the area but had a great time while we were there.
