How insane is a 140mph+ speedometer?

You can see in this video that he did about 212km/h (131mph) with his CX-5.

These cars need a ZF 8.

I would have been ok if my speedo stops at 90. 60-80 right at the top, and nothing after 90. Give me engine temp or oil pressure in that space.

The ZF8HP is for longitudinal configurations..

I am aware.

Theres a 9 speed ZF for transverse configs.

But Aisin also builds great transmissions, which is what Mazda would use.

The fastest I've been with my previous 2020 CX-5 was 105 mph. Briefly because I remembered that my last ticket was back in 2012.

I've done 110 in mine, but that was maybe 11-12 years ago now. And yeah same thing. I haven't had a ticket since 2010 or 2011.

I know there are some speedometers where the inaccuracy of the speed it indicates increases as the speed of the car goes up. My guess is a speedometer that has a pretty high upper speed measurement is done so the main part of where most people drive falls within acceptable accuracy tolerances.

That is a good point. Measuring devices of all types tend to be more accurate towards the center of their range.

We don't know that. Currently they engineer and produce their own, so they may well continue to do so.

New rule in CA for 2026.

• California has launched a new pilot program called FAST to address drivers speeding over 100 mph.
• The program allows the DMV to immediately review, suspend, or revoke licenses for extreme speeding.

Slow down people.

Sounds like California.

Stop being so carried away with speed, most vehicles in the same class of the CX5 aren't any faster 130 max for most of them including the Acura RDX, Lexus RX and host of others. I haven't looked inside the RDX but I bet you 160 is on the dash lol

I would like 55 at the apex and a top speed of 110.
More space on the dash could be used for an oil press and coolant temp gauge. I'd even settle for a voltage gauge.

Settled!

The idea is for 80mph to be at the top. In my childhood of 85mph speedometers they often put 55 at the top but had wasted space on the bottom right. For esthetics the extend the dial all the way around.

Not my daily driver…lol

I got a buzzer sounding off when I hit 110 in my 2022 Signature Turbo… anyone else get that warning?
