Actually, I just got to thinking (always a dangerous practice): WHY do they make speedometers that go to 140 mph for a V-6? I'd well imagine the only way you could get one to go 140 would be if it were launched straight down the side of a cliff.
I agree, but that's hardly the most ridiculous overly-optimistic speedometer I've ever seen. I remember renting a Ford Focus once a few years back (on the company's nickel, didn't have a choice), it was the base 4-door sedan and it had a 150 MPH speedo... I think Honda Odyssey minivan takes the cake for having a 160 MPH speedo... in a minivan!
