Do you think the dash will have a higher MPH speedometer?

I believe there are federal regulations regarding the speedo, so doubtful.

The seats are more thigh hugging, probably would be unsuitable for folding arm rests.
I`m thinking this ride is designed more sportier than comfort, sorta like the Neon SRT4, the reviews said it was very loud and over bearing, yet fast.
You`ve got to go in with that understanding...

I'm really not sure on the speedometer. Both my '82 Firebird and the HHR only go to 80 mph but my minivan goes up to 120. Now we all know you shouldn't be driving a minivan at 120. But I did bury the needle on the Firebird a few times and the tach kept climbing. I was very young then!

You would think they'd set the top speed based on the abilities of the vehicle. There I go thinking logically again!

I can say for a fact the new Corvette speedo numbers goes way past 120......... 120 used to be the standard until the speed limit dropped to 55. Then seems most set the speedo to 85-88 with 55 circled or highlighted. Then in the 90's is seemed to start rising again.

I don't think the speedo should be set to the vehicles capabilities. Can you imagine the service reports, speedo says 200, but I just couldn't get it there....

Seems to me the HHR speedo goes higher than 80mph...
