Little "2" on HUD
Okay, this has been bugging the crap out of me since I noticed it.
On the HUD, when you start the car, all the display illuminates. If you notice, there is a little "2" that is located at the upper left of 188 on the speed readout. What is this for? It isn't the 2 for the RPM reading either. The only thing I can think of is that it is used if/when you hit 200 MPH.

Hi Guys,
I live in the Netherlands and here we drive in KM/H. I have an american car ('99) with the american speedo and set the E/M switch to metric and YES when you hit the 200 KM/H the little 2 comes on!!! :-). Seen it multiple times on the German Autobahn...
It will do the same if you hit 200 MPH but then you have to tweak the stock engine a bit I guess....
Greetz,

170 mph limiter will stop you or the tires would come apart.
