i guess its expected for something like that to happen since it cant display anything faster

btw...just wanted to mention that i don't think anyone here is attempting to encourage others to experiment with their cars' max speed. it is super unsafe to reach these speeds on public roads regardless of how stable one'* car may "feel". just a disclaimer in response to comments similar to the aforementioned one ^ up there.

We have a member in stationed in Germany who has hit 146MPH on the autobahn,... of course I would never exceed the posted limit on a public highway.

The first digit of the HUD isn't capable of displaying a 2. Only a 1. So after 199, it just flashes.

It'* very annoying every morning on my commute.
