I went from a 13 to a 14 and instantly noticed the gauge change and I really like the 14 better during the day and at night. It's clean.
edit: Also people are saying they can hear me much clearer on Bluetooth phone. So I guess the mic on my 13 wasn't nearly as good as this. I'm really glad too because I dislike repeating myself.

I know it's still relatively new to me and I will continue to adjust (only 2,500 miles), but it is nearly impossible to safely discern precise speed.
The combination of the speedo being off-center along with the interior hash marks means the needle obscures the measurement and can result in mis-readings of 5-7 MPH.
I know it sounds like niggling, but it can mean the difference of getting pulled over or not in touchy situations.
Else, I prefer my retro font!

Wow. This would be awesome. Has anyone confirmed this? If so, any idea how difficult to swap?

I don't remember the speedo being that difficult to read even on the 2013s I have driven. I'll take delivery of my 2014 in a few days and will report back on it.

Oh another small change I noticed yesterday in the 14 is the drink holder has a removable bottom. So if you ordered a medium drink the cup now sits really far down and doesn't interfere with shifting like the 13 either. They made no really "big" changes from the 13 to the 14, but the small changes they've made have a pretty big impact. The gauges are much better / cleaner, the bluetooth mic is really clear now, and the drink holder area that used to interfere with shifting is now not a problem.

I just looked at a 14, I had no idea they were on lots already. I did get a look at the new gauges but not sure if I really like them also would like to see them lit up with the halos on.

The '13 Shelby's have these speedo/tach gauges.
I had initially thought that the '13 Shelby's had an older gauge cluster than the rest of the '13's...I guess we're seeing that it was the other way around.
