Yaris RPM/Tachometer

[albee213]

I have seen many of the autos with tachs but not the manuals, doesnt make sence to me but American car companies did this all the time in the 80's, I used to own an 85 Shelby Charger that was turbo with a few mods and was fast as hell and the speedo only went to 85 (it did have a tach), the same year Dodge minivan came standard with speedos that went to 125 MPH... What do engineers think about when they put these cars together?

I actualy broke the speedo bringing it over 360 degrees past 0 to about 140mph.

There was a law back then that did not allow the speedo to exceed 85mph even if the car could go faster.

I remember my dad's Eurosport speedo only went 140kmh, and the car could go faster.
