Why do car manufacters always make their gauges go up to 180MPH when obviously you can't even go that high (limitre)?

thats of topic, but I have seem a fd speedo pegged out. Beats a guage that only goes to 100 MPH. It is a marketing ploy for jackasses.

320km/h = 200mph and not 180mph. Which makes us even more rediculous because I know for damned sure that FD will never hit 200mph!!!! Go excess!!!

Ha! I've seen dumbasses jump in a car and get excited about how high the speedo goes....as if that is some bearing on the top end speed of the POS they were sitting in!

You might be able to cook a mean salmon, but damn you can't spell!! And not eating meat isn't a good thing!



Dave, I'll have to ride shotgun in the 200mph FD. 176mph is the fastest I've ever gone in one.

Andrewdruiz, what conversion are you using? I always just used km/h X .625 = mph I knew that would get me close enough. Ban you? Nah, I hate banning people.

Hate to say this, but growing up in Seattle, the ONLY salmon I will mess with is the Northwest wild breeds. Atlantic salmon(color added whitfish) is a complete joke.

i don't wanna do that on the t3 hot side, but i'll give it a go when i swap the turbo out for a t4 based unit. tire diameter will be 25.66" (275/40/17). i cna up it for a 45 aspect ratio and drop the revs a bit.
