85MPH as that is as high as my speedometer reads in my 92 Camaro.

Lollll, my husband's 1990 T-bird was the same, and when he got pulled over, the cop asked if he knew how fast he was going. "85, officer" (with Puss in Boots innocent eyes). The cop sputtered "you idiot, that's not...that's... your speedometer only goes that high!", but wrote him the ticket for 85 instead of whatever irresponsible & arrestable number it really was.

That's so odd, i thought usually sports car speedometers go higher than the car is actually able to achieve in order to trick people into thinking it's actually capable of going that fast. But now that i think about it i guess that was just an assumption
