Default 200+ mph speedo

I saw a pic of someones car with a 200 mph speedo. Anyone know how hard it would be to put one of those in, and **** anyone know where to find one? I'm not much for white face gauges, but I guess that could work. I really want a checkered design like in the vette's though... hmm would a vette cluster work with some fabbing?

Granatelli motorsports sells them. They have several colors available. You send your cluster in and they apply the face and recalibrate the gauges. I get a lot of comments on mine.

I've been looking for something 200mph+ and so far the only thing i've found is a digital speedo from dakota digital which reads up to 255mph and since I've geared my car for 245 that's the only one that can work so far...

How often do you die? You still prolly have life insurance.

I think they're cool for show cars and people that notice. Plus, maybe you can scare all the little Honda kids that think a car can only go as fast as the speedo says: "My Civic's speedo reads 160! Yours only reads 155? Haha!" Not after you get 200 mph ones put in.

Once which is 1 more time than you getting to 200mph. Not quite the same but I see what your point is. They are for show and if someone is willing to spend the cash then get them, they look good. Otherwise use that money to get the car faster.

well i doubt people get them to actually go 200mph in a camaro but what about people who pin their cars at have no clue how fast they are going? some of these folks' cars are fully capable of 170+ hell a stock ls1 can supposedly top 160's
