" One has to wonder what technical reason there is for my 1970
CA 
smog equipped 1600 sporting a 140 mph speedo...could it be 
"VROOM...VROOM" boy racer stuff? " 


Exactly, the purpose is so when you change your rear end and install
smaller diameter tires, you can be going over 100mph while still having
the rest of traffic keep up with you.

On my 70 with 185/60s I am doing 100 mph many times...thank god my
speedo goes up to 140!
