I'd bet money that's KPH, not MPH. Been there done that. It didn;t look like 220mph to me.

Take a look at the inner circle of numbers and do the math- it's about right that the outer=mph & the inner=kph.

The center markers are not going by very fast, as someone who has gone very fast it doesn't look right to me.

I agree that the center markers don't appear to be going by fast enough for it to be the mph indicated. However, the issue exists that the speedo/tach indications are only instantaneous, while the movement of the road is dependent on a real-time display of the video. And I don't see any way to resolve the question of whether or not that video is being viewed 1:1.

Stock Busa runs 1/4 mile in 9's at 145mph, and top speed electronically limited about 185mph.

There are some guys out there running turbo Busa's and they probably change the chip with the turbo addition. They'll run over 200mph if yer crazy enough to try it. Bonneville's one thing, but in traffic it's criminal in more than one sense.

Not Kilometers/hour. Miles /hour. Not at all a problem for a built 'Busa
