A lower perspective would have helped - background is too busy, as well.

I like the idea, however, I find the needles too bright rendering the rest of the interior a little too bland. Also, perhaps the image could be a little sharper?

And the background of the other car's wheel is a little distracting.

Maybe a head on shot including lots of bonnet with the nice blues?

for me this is a bit messy and (being picky) isn't it outside looking in?

I like the idea and the angle used. I don't know if you had the option to move the dragster, but I'm not to fond about the background. Mainly because it shows that the dragster is parked on a grass field and is going nowhere. I think a more action-related background (like a tarmac surface with lines on it) would look better.

I like the angle of this. It communicates speed even when the car isn't moving.
