    Are GP gauges digitally controlled, or are they old school analogue? If they're anything like Impala gauges (the cluster is a computer and the gauges are controlled digitally by specific motors), then you just have to align them back to zero when you're done. May take a couple of tried to get perfect, but it's not hard.

    Do they sweep or something when you start the car? If so, they're digitally controlled.

    Not even backwards a little? Not even a twitch? Weird.

    It's been a long time since I drove a 97-03 GP that I can't remember how the gauges acted to tell you for sure.
