Yeah, that definitely isn't a North American speedo. Mine is below, which has the inner ring in MPH.
Btw, it was damn cold when I took this picture.

Both mph and km are indicated on the speedo. The driver got it up to 100mph or 160km/h as the OP said.

big communication breakdown... here's the deal.
1.) The video does not show a MPH on the spedo, indisputable. - if you don't agree with this, you didn't watch the video, go watch it.
2.) Who gives a flying a-hole what the spedo has on it, it could have the peanut butter jelly time bananna on it, 160k/hr is equal to 100MPH... not 92mph, not 106.25mph, it's 100MPH. The car it 100MPH like that.
Does that clear it up?

I think it is a case where we used to have MPH only on our speedos then they switched to km/h (with mph in smaller script), but us Older Farts automatically convert to either since we are used to both measures of speed.
But, You are absolutely correct there is only km/h showing

Where did you see me arguing his top speed? OF COURSE 160Km/h is 100mph. I was talking about how FAST he was hitting those digits.
Get it?
P.S.
It's banana not bananna

Man you're bitchy... why are you even talking then... are you arguing with yourself? this thread started out as a cool video and was mangled into pointless non-sense. sorry I double keyed n on Banana. suprised you didn't rip me for typing 160k/hr instead of 160km/h

Arguing with myself? Not arguing, not with myself, and certainly not with you. Where did that wise a$$ peanut butter answer come from anyways?
Newbs.... sigh....

Does the engine come with synthetic oil from the factory? If so, its already broken in. Engines cant use synth oil without leaking unless all the rings and seals are set. That being said, a couple runs to redline wont hurt the car before the manufacture stated break in time. If its dino-oil then take it a bit easier. Ive always driven a car hard when I first got it so it sets itself to my driving habits.
My dad drives terribly slow and casual and thus his engines break in that way. Every time I take out one of his cars and romp on it, huge plumes of carbon deposits get blown out. Its healthy to get on the engine now and then, just not at every red light.
