Why would you post something that was either photoshoped or a dyno run? If you really did do that, great, but the wind resistance wouldnt allow you to. If you made that yourself, WHY?

LOL, of course it is a photoshopped! I just threw it together this morning. It is wallpaper size.

OK! Now everyone can relax and stop analyzing it! :D

I am cooking up something else, watch out!

if you guys want to really make it that...hold the left button on the dash until it turns to KPH...then run it up to 180 and take a pic...

then hold the button again...when it is back to MPH take another pic at anyspeed...photoswap in the MPH :D
