(...) You can still use the speedometer. Unless you got lots of wheel spin there is a direct relationship between the tack and the speedometer. In fact the speedometer is often attached to the drive shaft so even wheel spin is removed. Derek (21 years ago, 3-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) What if, on something like the Phaeton, which, in the words of the reviewer, has "vault like silence", you don't get that vibration or noise cues? Hence, you might need to use the tach. Calum (21 years ago, 3-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well. That comes back to the question of "needing" a tachometer. I've noticed that like almost automatics have tachometers.

(...) This is definitely Johns domain, but as far as I know, the W12 is just two VR6's stuck together like siamese twins. Its still a single crankshaft.

I've read that VW/Audi had both a dual VR6 configuration used in some sort of prototype sports car as well as a true 12 cylinder where sets of three cylinders pushed a driveshaft. I think the Phaeton W12 is the former, but how do you sync and drive (...) (21 years ago, 2-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
