According to the speedo, mine can do 200mph. Which has me a bit confused, as I've been looking at replacing the faces and everyone seems to think I should have a speedo which goes up to 175mph.

Does anyone else have a 2002 C2 Cab with a 200mph speedo?

the max on the speedometer is usually higher than the max speed of the car

 

what he is saying is that his speedo goes to 200, but he is looking at gauge faces and the ones that are for his car only go to 175....so he is wondering why he has a 200 mph speedo. My guess....either he got a non us car, maybe kilometers? or someone swapped his speedo with a turbo unit.

 

02+ Cars show up to 200mph
limited to 177mph (coupe)

99-01 Cars show up to 175mph
limited to 174mph (coupe)

With the 02 Facelift came a slightly different Instrument Gauge Setup...

 

Damn, so putting in a 300mph speedo won't make my car go faster?

Yep - sorry if the humor was a little too subtle - I'm trying to find out if there is *any* way my speedo is the one which was supplied with the car. As I bought it second hand, there is a possibility someone pulled a fast one on me and it's actually got a higher mileage than the speedo says. If so, I want to know asap so I can get in touch with my lawyer!

 

you are probably ok....i dont think speedos are that easily swappable....

 

those tops speeds are only limited by HP....so they are not actually limited numbers....Porsches dont have top speed limiters.

 

what color are your faces? im trying to get theblack ones. i got mostly all of them but the mph. i got the white face on them right now.

 

Interesting! I've got all black faces, and am looking to swap them out for aluminum.... If yours are aluminum rather than white, I smell a possible swap here...

PM me if you are interested

 

I have black, but would prefer white - not aluminum. I have a 99 so it only goes to 175, let me know!

 

i have been to 285 KMPH thats 177 MPH at that time i only had the EVO INTAKE...

 

I have the factory aluminum and it looks white.

 

Your owner's manual tells you your cars top speed, in Porsches it is
often redline in top gear so to increase the speed you must increase the RPM or rolling diameter.
(which usually takes added HP to push it thru the wind faster). A good GPS device is much more accurate than our speedometers which probably goes without saying. (I also had a 99 Carerra!)

I was saying this because jspeed said he had "white" and was looking for black. Either way, I am looking for non-black!
