I don't think you get it, the numbers are static they don't change, so the range is 0-160.

When the car is in metric mode, the gauge goes from 0-160 KM/h (so you peg out at 160KM/h but the car can still go faster.).

When you switch it over to imperial mode (is that what you guys call it?), the gauge goes from 0-160mph.

So same numbers on the display, just the rate that the pointer moves around the dial changes based on the mode.

It's fun to set it to KM/H instead of MPH to demonstrate how fast your car is to somebody that doesn't know the difference...

Exactly. Unless Canadian Camaros get a different gauge with larger numbers the few that do any racing of any sort will peg their speedo.

Probably an RS, SS, Z28, and maybe a plain Camaro.

we all know that the L99 is the name of the 265cid 200hp V8 that was only used in the 94-96 Caprice, right? I hope that name that Road & Track claims is a misprint.

They could just be recycling a code from the past just like LS1, LS6, etc.

After all my guessing, those ***** on the DS of the wheel are for the HUD display control...

How are you guys seeing all that detail? I blow up the pictures and can't make out any numbers or letters or anything....
Is it my eyes or my computer?
Obviously I'm missing something

That's kind of what I was thinking. Position, mode, and brightness controls.

EDIT: Actually....after seeing a closer picture, it's not. It has resume and set/decrease buttons on it. Obviously Cruise Control. Now....what exactly is set / clear for on the left lever if cruise is on the wheel?
