How rare is my crappy speedo???

I've got an 87 IROC with the fantastic LG-4 and a 5-spd. I've also got a lovely 85mph speedo. Everywhere I've checked it's said that 86 was the last year for the 85mph speedo and in 87 Z28's got 150mph speedo's. Is it rare for my car to have this?

It's not rare at all. Every IROC with the LG4
and sport coupe had the 85mph spedo. Just TPI engines got the 145mph spdo. In 88
the std spedo across the board had 115mph with the optional TPI engines again getting the 145mph speedos.
