All of them? (that run, anyway). Not much mystery here, apart from the non-owners who are confused
by the 85 mph mandated speedo. I've just fitted a 170 mph speedo, but have never pushed the car
to 100, so it's really for looks only.

I may or may not have gotten up to 125 mph outside of Knoxville TN over 20 years ago. This was before GPS so had to use the RPM conversion chart.
The auto will definitely do 100+, he said he doesn’t like to keep the RPMs high though, so he doesn’t go that fast. 3rd gear in the auto is equivalent to 4th gear in the manual, so I’d guess whatever top speed is in 4th gear for a manual is the top speed for an auto.
As for why ending the speedo at 95, that’s the top speed shown in BTTF.
Awesome job! Do you happen to have just a regular 85mph print? Or could you reference the font/spacing/width in detail? If I could get the exact measurements, I?d like to make one myself. I noticed the ?MPH? font isn?t quite as bold as the rest of the font (ex: RPM/100), and wanted to know the specifics so I could tweak it a bit.
