Because lets be fair, thats what someone would be doing if they felt that a tach was distracting.

    Oh and just one more funny part...listening to revs is distracting . What happens to music....
    But notice the contradiction? He said manual trannies have not changed in 100 years or something, yet he with his own comment afterwards states driving a non-synchro manual lol, again what a moron, we now have hydraulic clutches, syncronized gears and even some vehicles have a roll-back assist feature.
