Default C5 speedo question

Do all C5 speedo's register up to 300 kms or mph, or is it just the Canadian cars that have this? I am asking because I swear I saw a C5 with a 200 kms or mph speedo?

In the states the speedo goes up to 200 (Miles or Km, your choice). I guess since your car is a Canadian model the analog gauge goes to 300.
