Default New Speedometer

Is it possible, and does anyone know where I can get one, to replace the speedometer in the V-6 so I can tell how fast I am actually going. I had the car up to probably about 135-140 but I cant tell because of the 120mph speedometer. I had the needle pinned, and took my foot off the gas, took a good 15 or so seconds of the car slowing down before the needle started to come down.

You don't need to change the factory one because the officer will be glad to let you know

No wonder insurance rates are so high. Please let me know where you live so I know never to drive on the same roads you do.

I am so confused. i thought the v6 fuel cutoff(govener) kicked in at 114 mph or so? u took the govener off and we can get up to 130mph w/ out destroying our car?? if you didnt take the govener off how the F did you get up to 130mph? and w/ the stock drive shaft? badash did u take the govener off, and/or did you replace the stock drive shaft with a better one?
