it s about california law ath that tme which has forbidden speedometers which shows more than 85 miles. my friend has trans am from 1985 who has also a speedometer with maximum85 miles, 135 kilomters although that trans am runs 240 kmh
@coolakiIlen007 ..because of an anti-speed campain. it was an obligation for aome years in the 80´s for all car maufactors. i saw pontac firebird trans am of that time with high output 5.7 V8 which had a top speed high above 200 kmh which also had a 85 mph speedometer. after some years the us-government accept the fact that is ridiculous and a 85 mph speedometer doesn´t save any lives
@355LTM i got em on 280km/h on a german highway

a car doesn't stop accelerating just because the speedo hits the end stop. its obviously still going way past 85!!!

@coolakiIlen007 according to the american law at that time. speedometers which just goes to 85mph, a little bit m,ore than 130 kmh
