    Why the fuck would you want to look down?
    Jesus... looking down at 100 is scary.

    Anyway, I'm sure they will look cool when it's in park.

    Yea I'm sure most people who are going 200mph+ are looking where they are going instead of trying to take a pic of their speedo. Unless they have a death wish

    I think he's just looking for a speedo that is capable of reading 200mph. Not one that's reading 200 at the time the picture was taken. Though, I could be wrong.

    Assuming that you're not talking about a car that's been heavily Bonneville prep'd (in which case you may not consider it a "traditional hot rod" any more) then no. You could drop it from an airplane and, depending upon it's aero drag, its terminal velocity would likely be over 200.

    OK, wiseguys, KPH doesn't count!

    My S-W speedometer only goes to 160 MPH.

    I have to wind this one around twice to go 200. But the car vibrates at anything over 180, so I don't do it too often.

    im pretty sure once your going fast enough to need a 200 speedo you can just mark 200 on your tach and work out how many rpms you would be turning in order to be going that fast(Big Red Style)
     
  22. Mine only goes to 160 and I'm not brave enought to try,,,,HRP
