Is the 150MPH speedometer in the 2002 CRV a hint of an engine to come, or is it a some marketing joke?

It's just there for nothing.

For instance, if you ever find out how to remove the Governor (speed limiter) you might be able to reach that speed... i doubt it though.

It's there to make you feel good. haha

My 2002 Civic speedometer goes up to 150mph, but i have topped out at 120mph :(
