I used to the like the digital when I first got the Z, but now I use the analog more now. Wife like to use the digital all the time though.

Same deal here....looking at the digital speedo is much simpler than moving my hand to an uncomfortable position on the steering wheel.

I like the Analog Speedmeter. But I usually look at the RPMS, rather than the Speed I'm driving at

I don't usually look at either I just max out at 155 and then I turn on the cruise control. J/K I have my digital on the temp instead.

I only use digital. If drives me crazy when driving around 32F and it keeps switching to temp all the time...

I have trouble adjusting to look at the analog speedo when driving other cars.

Well, i can't speak for a particular cop's radar, but my Volvo has always been dead on with those roadside radar signs.

I only use the analog. I'm 6'0" and I don't have any trouble seeing the speedo. My digital display is set for avg. mpg / speed most of the time.

I almost exclusively use the digital speedometer.

Im the same way, I usually dont even look at the tach when racing high speeds I shift according to the digital speedo(112mph higher). Ive been to the speed limiter twice, and both times I never even looked down @ the analog, always the digital. I know this sounds kinda dumb, but seeing 150+ on the digital doesnt freak me out, but I think if I saw the analog all the way on the other end it would a little.
