Hi forum fiends!

If the speed limiter is removed, does the digital dash read higher than 180km/h if you are going faster than 180km/h ?
Or will it stay at 180km/h even if you are doing 250km/h?

How accurate in general is the digital speedo compared to analog?
What are the major issues that arise?

If the speed limiter is removed the speedo will still not read higher than 180 ..

In general Speedo's are allowed a plus or minus 10% from the Manufacturer when the car is new, usually quite bit better than that though & digital is probably better but still probably comes under the same 10% range when the car is new & again most read quite close to the correct speed, tyres & rims size will effect the reading though & in your case just use a GPS as a reference to see where yours is off, if at all ?? ..

That's a good idea with the GPS Rob!
