Checkout the speedo!
 
I downloaded this from an Italian site.
My question is, is it genuine or is it photoshop?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1065280325.jpg

must be photoshop...who would try and limit a 911 to 50kph ;)

Doesn't look like Photoshop when enlarged to 400% ... shadow across right corner of '5' odometer wheel is perfectly consistent with rest of the shot, as is the gradual defocus from left to right on all of the odometer wheels!

Of course ... it is possible to artificially 'run up' an odometer reading without actually accumulating miles! So, the photo could be entirely genuine without the km's being accurate!

443K miles would be an interesting high in a car looking so good & pristene, though!

Bruce Anderson has reported people in the 400-500K mile range in SC's.

Well the markings are genuine. Thats the markings on my Euro 88 Turbo Targa. As a matter of fact I just replaced it with an identical unit. Forunately for me the red line does not actually limit the speed.

Maybe they tried to wind it back but gave up after 300k or so?

Well, I'm not so nervous about my car being at 172k miles now..
