RE: mph question
I suppose since you can keep accelerating after it's pegged, it varies.
But yeah, I've figured just from looking at mine it's just over 100.
Or check your tach and calculate your speed.

RE: mph question
You can't tell. Your speedo is not calibrated to go over 85, so just because it looks like 100mph should be there doesn't mean it is

or you can pass by the stationary ones on the side of the road that read out your speed
