Speedometer question
Anyone replace their 200 mph/kph speedometer with the 330 kph/mph face that the Europeans get? I was just wondering if it's possible to just replace the faceplate on the gauge or if you have to replace the whole gauge or gauge cluster.

Not sure, but why would you want to do that? You would never know if you were doing the speed limit or not.

Anything is possible if you have the $$. But, in the US why would you want that? I don't know if that gauge can be changed to read in mph. I believe it is only capable of reading km/h.

You might be able to grab a Canadian one and program it to work properly. The question, as the others mentioned, is why? It's not like the Camaro is capable of 300+ mph. It's more of a convenience feature for Canadian cars in case they travel to the US. Realistically in the US, I would think you can only use 1/3 of the Canadian speedo reasonably and the last 1/3 of the Canadian speedo will be useless.

I actually prefer metric measurements. The more you use them the easier it is to get used to them. |

And here is another thing: you have a 2SS, so you have the HUD. Personally I rarely look at my actual speedo and just use the HUD. I was pretty used to my RX-8's and C7's digital speedo.

Right, I should have clarified that I would imagine you have to replace the entire cluster or at least somehow reprogram the speedometer if that's possible. The 200 speedo is calibrated differently from 330 speedo, obviously. Just swapping the faces wouldn't work.

Oh well. I'd have only done it if it was cheap and easy. I'm not going to spend money for a whole new instrument cluster then even more to have it programed to my car. |
