Default Spedometer Question

First, sorry for no pics yet...too busy playing with the new toy.

As I've been playing though I've realized that the spedometer is pretty hard to read to get an exact speed. Is there a way to get a digital reading or another solution? I have nav if that would help.

Yes, the numbers on the speedo are WAY too close together...but I checked it against my Tom-Tom, and from the driver's position, the speedo is calibrated correctly. Just got to watch yourself. IDK if the stock NAV will display speed. (My Tom-Tom does!)

When you've got one of the few Race Red GT's in this area, and you're getting followed by MD State Troopers for doing the speed limit....you DO want to know how fast you're going!!! LOL. My car is a RED Neon Sign saying "Please PULL Me Over!!!" I know it'll get 100xs worse if I open the exhaust up too!

I drove in Glen Burnie to my old work to give a friend a ride and EVERY SINGLE ricer was trying to race me on RT2. Getting on 695 or 95 is HELL b/c everyone wants me to get on it hard. (Believe me...it takes a LOT of willpower to NOT blow their doors off!)
