my opinion is the pony. i might be looking to much into it, but since its a mustang, the pony is much more important than an idling cars tach. if the tach was revved, maybe the tach would be important, but the needle going down into the steering wheel is kinda meh IMO, plus, if the focus is blurry on the tach, you can see less of your own reflection in it and the shift light.

EDIT: if this is your friends car, and you have the opportunity to reshoot, see if you can a) move the wire for the shift light out of view, and b) shoot two photos, one at this exposure and one under exposed. that way you can go into photoshop and merge the two photos, take the sky out of the underexposed shot so that its blue instead of very very hot. Also try in different locations, definitely try indirect sunlight so that the highlights are more subtle. I know im being nitpicky, and i probably wouldn't even make these suggestions for anyone else, but i know you like to shoot a lot and make everything perfect, these are just things to try.
