RE: 85 mph speedo years???
ford was thinking about not breaking the law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer
but of course they found a way around that
In the United States during the 1980s a federal law was passed mandating that speedometers on newly manufactured vehicles could not display speeds higher than 85 mph. This law is no longer in effect.
but of course they found a way around that

Aspeedometer that only goes to 85 is gonna make someone slow down? 
I dont see the logic in that.. its actually more fun to watch the needle peg and twitch which encourages me to speed
