Anybody have the experience of heads up display stopping at 186 mph, even though speedo continues past 200 mph (during an actual speed run)?

If it's still under warranty, take it in and get it checked out. You don't want to be going that fast and not know whether you're going 187 or 188 or 189 or 190 or 191 or even faster without looking down at the speedo...

Gee, I hadn't noticed that. Whenever I exceed 190 mph, I'm usually too busy looking for cops to notice. Plus, my wife is yelling at me to slow down to 175.
