Speedometer Readout

[potter22]

Since the speedo only reads 85 mph do the actual numbers read out higher if you go past 85 mph.

Yes.

 

[GrayBeard]

Yes. A little bird tuld me the digital will go at least to 120.

 

[Vettefan87]

Welcome to the GrayBeard.

It goes higher then 120. Didn't that almighty Callaway they built hit 250 something and it start going backward???

 

[RonJ]

Not on my 85 they don't.

You want to cruise at 100? Make up a straight line graph and then use your tach.

Ron ...

 

[Vettefan87]

So what makes the 85 stop at 120? Is it just the readout that stops or is there a speed limiter?

 

[RonJ]

The digi speedo just runs off the top, the car itself keeps accelerating as long as you keep your foot in it, there's no speed limiter ......<G>

Ron .....

 

[NevadaJim]

Goes well above 120 on my '87 TT

 

[Vettefan87]

Yeah, I was going to say I know for a fact that in my 87 it goes above 120.....

My wife woke up when I hit 130:z :eek , I think it will go a bit faster,
as the tach read 4500 when I let off the gas .:nono

I forget, but the digital readout may go as high as 999 before it runs out of room. Think you could get it going that fast? :L

By the way Jeff, at 4500 rpm you were probably running out of wind, eh? That is, if your engine's stock.
