Default speedometer pics, need some

yeh so today a kid in my class was showin off a picture of his speedometer on his accord while going 110mph, so I was wondering if anyone had any pics of this at a faster speed so I could have some fun showin him tommorow. I dont feel like risking my life to do something so stupid, which is why i asked anyone else that has already done it, and if anyone helps out on this I'll tell ya how it went Dont worry I wont steal any credit from you ever again, just this once lol

Wow, that is fast.

Does your car really go 180 as the speedometer says? Mine only shows 170, have never been that fast.

That's not my car, that's a Turbo S. All I have owned are '86 951s and like yours register 170. I forget where that picture came from, I've had it for years. Was posted somewhere on the internet.

Aren't the 86's supposed to get up to 151 (power-limited) from the factory? (or at least thats what they said when they were new...)

From the looks of it that car is basically close to topping out because its getting close to redline and I doubt it has another gear.

I was going to have Becca take a pic Saturday when I hit 135, but she would not let loose of the door handle to pick up the camera.
