C6: Speedo conversion

[Steve L.]

While at Carlisle viewing the C6's, I noticed that the speedo was only in mph.
Is there a setting to change to kph? Looks more like the mph is permanent.

When buying a C6 in Canada, it'll be in kph but what happens when travelling in the USA with a canuck c6?

C6 speedo

Maybe the GPS could auto-detect where you're at and adjust accordingly...like the timezone! j/k

Steve, if you exceed the speed limit, the same thing will happen as would happen in a US C6. You could always try shruging and shaking your head like you don't understand what language the cop is speaking...

Or...You could try memorizing some metric conversions for, say 30 mph, 55mph (~90kph), and 70mph. One mph = 1.6 kph.

Can't afford a C6 this year anyway so this isn't a problem for me. But I'm surprised that a car of this caliber doesn't have some nifty set-up for changing over with a flick of a button.

I use a GPS for speed (and other info) anyway and never use the dashboard speedo. My 73 only has mph.

The switch is to the right of the steering wheel. But we in Canada DO get a faster Vette. Our Speedometer reads 1.6% higher.
