There is on mine.
Only noticed it because the way I parked one day meant the sunlight outlined the template for it on the dash.
Maybe they mean 120 MPH....

Used to race Karts to Aus Champ level - that slows you down on the road.

This was in the NT btw.

Good effort, but did any of them have a Td5 behind them?
I think my enjoyment of speed peaked on dads bike, I remember looking over his shoulder as the speedo needle whizzed past 180....
That was intense

Officially according to the 2004 brochure a Td5 should max out at 157kph. V8 is 170.

Stockie on the Hay Plains, topped out at 160 indicated... Drank fuel like mad though

yes there is 120km/h overspeed light, but its only enabled on hte middle east. Might be able to turn it on with a nanocom, but I've never bothered to find out

Mine just loves to cruise at 120, seems to really settle down at that speed, but I've seen 150 a few times and thats not wound out. It has free flow fat exhaust and unconfirmed ecu mod.

184 kph as per GPS... Cruises comfortably at 160 kph... (uprated I/C, VNT, uprated TC, dual-channel boost-MAF signal capping device, etc. coupled with own experimental remapping).

Hilariously it was the wife that came in one day and said "do you know the disco can easily reach past 180 kph after that last computer thing you did to it?"
