None that I know of. You must be thinking of the export 300kph version.

You can buy the 300MPH speedometer on e-bay. 300MPH Speedometer does not mean a thing!

Yeah, export models have a 300 speedo. But its km's not miles. You can get it calibrated for MPH, and its cool to have the big "300" @ the end...but you'll never peg it lol.

Better be @ Bonneville lol. I like the cover of the Motor Trend Ive got w/ the LPE 650 vette. Speedo is beyond 200. Wonder what the HUD would say @ 226 - probably "SLOW DOWN!" lol.
