I set mine at 75mph, which means it's orange most of the time cruising at 75-85.

same here. 75mph on the speedo and 3.5 RPMs on that tach.

Women always seem to love it for some reason.

LOL, I dug up an old thread but it seems to be a popular one.

After reading the thread the first thing I did when I hopped into my car today was to set the Speedometer one at 70. Looks so cool and its nice to just have to glance down and know if I'm running the risk of a ticket or not.

LMAO are you serious?.. Its a warning saying that your speeding. Mines set at 80 MPH. From what ive read you can change it to a different speed. Notice that your rpms also has a red ring come on when you floor it.

I got tired of seeing that ring cruising at 80, so I have the orange ring set at 90, and the red ring at 100 ....

Yes, also you can adjust it somewhere below the steering wheel on the left.

I adjusted it to 120KM (75MPH).
