Maybe it is to retain some accuracy, as the speedo is very inaccurate at the top end - 175mph dials should give a 2-25mph cushion, that the car should never reach? Just a thought.
i cant understand how that speedo will ever be accurate as the normal clocks read right down to 180KPH and that reads 280KPH....?? how would the speedo know what your really doing....... I dont understand that at all.....
lol... but dave what happens if you convert the dials from your 180KPH to the 280KPH as the starlets have the speedo cable no sender...? so how will it re-adjust? or how will it work?
