Default RPMs are too high...

...unless he's going 185. At 175, the tach should indicate about 6800 (I know this because at 161 on the speedometer, my tach indicated about 6250).

Maybe he downshifted. It could happen!

Default its obviously photoshopped...

look carefully at the needles...aparently someone thought you'd think the needles were moving if there was some "blurring" but they inexpertly used "noise" so the inside edges of the needles are roughly stippled...this is visually impossible in nature...it's an obvious fake.

And if you look closely, you can see where it used to read 92 mph!

Sure it could, and his engine would have been destroyed!

Default Yeah it's Photoshopped..I would know...I made it...more

it was a little project to try for fun about a year ago when I had my s4, and I sent it to one of my friends who in turn sent it to that webpage thinking it was real, and the actual speed is like 95, and there really isn't any noise on it, just bad skills because I used MS paint for it....it wasn't supposed to get out, but, guess it did....my bad...also if you look really really close the S4 symbol overlaps the needle in the speedo, but I'm not a pro at this anyway...just for fun
