Yeah, I was wondering when they changed the speedo to top out at 260 mph!

130km = 81.25mph

130mph = 208km then the tach should be greater than 3k rpm

Until I realized you were a Canuck I was wondering how you managed to take a straight picture while doing 130mph. I haven't hit 130mph myself, but I will check the highway a couple of times each way one night and give it a run. As long as I'm the only one that can become creamed corn I have no problem with testing the higher end of the speedo.

yeah... apparently the Canadians think 80 is fast... Here in Atlanta if you aren't doing 80MPH you are going to get run over... By me

and most of the other people on the highway.

We only think that 80 m.p.h. is fast when we're driving through a blizzard, with a mixture of freezing rain and 14 inches of snow in temperatures of 15 deg. F.
