besides the km/h part. it is a TCS car (snow power?) but it has a gear indicator. US cars never got that, did they?

The 180km/hour is not high enough for a Q, though!

I like the shift indicator... And it should go up to 240kmh, I think...

Think "Antonio 'Tony' Montana", think that scene at the end when he's sitting at the desk/table with his own Mt Everst...

The shift indicator is definately like the one other JDM cluster I saw on eBay (note the 2->1 direction is right to left rather than left to right) but the JDM I saw didn't say "snow power" and I think the speedometer still had "MPH" sitting in second place - don't remember for sure on that though...

As far as I know, all Canadian cars come with Kms prominent but all have/had mph in lower case. So much cross border traffic that dual references are necessary. 180km/hr only works out to about 110 mph. This is a speedo from a Q?

hopefully this link will work: http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co...28812it's only 116,500 yen. there's a bunch of nice Q's (and some beat up crashed ones) on that site. search G50 or Q45 or HG50. this is the only closeup i could find but you can tell the others have the same cluster.

i could've used that snow power, today it was 29 degrees and there was a big pool of water in the road, with ice right after it up to the light. i was going 5-10mph and lightly hit my brakes and my ABS started working, the cop that was behind me and going much slower (his splash in the pool was smaller than mine) stopped way behind me but i could tell he was sliding. when the light turned green i couldn't even hit the gas, the tires just spun. maybe my ultra high performance summer tires don't work well on ice even with an extra 200lbs in the trunk.

Does the above quote qualify for the Hall of Fame?

I imagine the SNOW POWER would be more akin to Snow / Power, like a traction control setting.
