Ive heard stories that the 85MPH speedo can be overcome by tricking the computer inside the cluster to show the display in KPH mode, but actually showing MPH rather than KPH.

I have owned a berlinetta for over 10 years and have never seen a factory dash read over 85 !

I installed an aftermarket speedo into my dash cluster to resolve this problem. I also benefit from the other features like 0-60, 1/4 mile times, top speed, and easy recalibration (thank *** ---- I have had 4 different rears and countless different tires on my green Berlinetta !)

Re: Digital Speedo pegs

That aftermarket Speedometer was made by Intellitronix. I know the company is still in business, but I highly doubt that they are still selling that style Speedo gauge. It's not a full replacement cluster,.....just a round "remote" mounted Speedometer gauge. I simply trimmed the factory Berlinetta cluster bezels so that the aftermarket gauge would fit inside the factory cluster.
