Default A Random Thought.

When you floor your car at 55 etc. Just cruising or passing. It gets to 90-100 pretty quickly or even jsut a 0-60 run. Ever think how crazy it would look on V6 guages. Like with the bigger numbers more spread out that only go to 110 or 120. The needle would be glorious to watch.

Just my random thought for the year.
