MY guess would be that the Japanese speedos have some limited postings...

So what will Canadian Speedo's go to?
SHould be 260km/h right?
My Porsche 968 went to 300km/h and it was so cool and funny to look at the speedo only pointing up when flying at 150km/h and still having the entire right side of the speedo empty.

I'm glad it's not one of those high spedos like 200 mph, first the more numbers you have the smaller and closer together they are, second there is a whole big thing about spedo error, basically the spedo has to read over what you are actually doing (this is the law), and there is a larger error for high mph spedos.

that's just what I said, higher speedo makes for higher error. (not the opposite)
